We have been doing the snow shoe slog for about 10 days now. We have about 1500 tapped, about 1000 to go.
The last 2 days we actually saw sap moving, enough to find the 150+ squirrel chews!!! This is the worst I have seen the critter damage in my woods.
Chewing taps and tubes...little B'srds!

500 gallons collected yesterday. It begins.
