    You really shouldn't bring up discussion of sap veins on the web.
    It really does need to be kept a trade secret.
    If knowledge of its existance gets out, its gonna go viral on the internet.

    BTW, I have a special sap vein stethoscope under development which I am going to market as soon as I get the patent approved.
    It's gonna make hitting that vein really easy.

    I've developed a very special dowsing stick that detects heavy flows through veins and arteries in mature maples, only those over 18" diameter. I'm the only one able to correctly read the vibrations through the stick - something about my body chemistry. I'm pretty much booked solid through the end of March at $150/hr. plus travel, but might be able to squeeze you in.
    2015 - 40 buckets w/ drop lines

    2016 - 90 buckets
    same evaporator and pan
    hoping to make 12 gallons

    Didn't Carly Simon write a song about this, Your So Vein ? One of the lyrics was I bet you think this song is about you.....


    Oh on another note.....I tried to teach my dog to sniff veins and now all he does is run around and sniff peoples crotch and hump their leg. It get's kind of embarrassing when company comes around and they just just don't understand that this happens when poor training and a brain dead dog are mixed! Soon as you go into this explanation of how he's supposed to be sniffing tree trunks and not people's trunks they just make a face and kind of back off. HMmm no wonder no one visit my shack anymore.
