Brian- Thats going to be your BIGSAP signature bush. Theron
Brian- sounds like a great set up...obviously more than a couple new taps :)
I'll have to take a look next time up
I went hunting for taps this weekend. I didn't see any deer, but we saw a couple of squirrels (the dog liked that) and I hunted down a bunch of maples that are now tappable and close to existing lines and bucket trails.
I found at least 6 new buckets and about 20 trees that will be added to the lines next year. They grew into the 10 inch class this year.
We did a cut about 5 years ago and the maples have been growing like mad.
So even though we didn't see any 10 pointers we did see some ten inchers!
New logo design developed for the maple and honey hobby business coming soon!:)
Just borrowed neighbors chop saw to do some serious stainless cutting!
Hope things are just dandy out there!
Priced a new Sthil 250 to replace the tired one, may it rest in piece in the big wood shed in the sky:(

a buddy has been after me to hunt with him over on the military base so,this morning i ran over and got my permit to go on it.after,that i desided to hit home depot and get one of those plastic enclosure's for a auto drawoff.i needed to kill time before i headed back to work and i figured that would do it.
after,work i had just enough time before dark to go get a load of firewood and toss it off by the sugarhouse.i think i have two more loads down there.

Got some more work done on our To Do list on the weekend.
Most importantly: I got out hunting with both my kids. Saturday morning my son came with me and we got to see 2 tails, which was pretty exciting for both of us. It's kinda hard to expect a 6-year old to be still and quiet but we had fun. In the afternoon my daughter came out for a few hours. She was great and stayed very still and quiet the entire time. Unfortunately we didn't see anything but we had a blast anyways. Only 3 more years until she can get her hunter's apprentice license and legally carry the gun when we're together.
Sunday I got out with a buddy and managed to shoot a big 8 pointer. I'd seen close to 25 does and fawns over the previous 2 weeks so it was nice to finally get a buck. He field dressed at 170lbs and we had to drag him over 1/4 mile and carry it across a beaver dam to get to a spot where the atv's could get to it. Definitely worth the effort!
My brother and I managed to get another 150' section of 3/4" mainline up to shorten some laterals. We also tied in the drylines and wetlines in one bush, cut up some limbs that had fallen and added wire ties to the last bit of the bush where the mainline was sagging in spots. Looks like we're in good shape heading into winter.
ennis,
Congrats on the deer! nice one!
nas,
I may look at the 260, but probably not the Husky:)
