Does any one go out this time of year and just change out spouts?
Thanks Brian

I try to do all my line maintainance and spout changing between now and tapping (Feb).
I cut the old taps off while I'm doing line repairs and maintenance and install the new ones when I tap.

I was out today doing some, my theory is that it is better to be ahead and wait then have to rush as the season starts and miss the early runs. We are able to tap alot more trees in a day if we dont have to worry about anything else but drilling holes. Plus replacing spiles all at once is painfully boring, kinda split it up the best you can
