Put out 50 early taps today 12/16/20
Well I succumbed to temptation and put 50 early taps out today. I finished cleaning and setting up the shack and lines were all done, so I said what the h#ll and tapped the two laterals right behind the shack. These are taps I have done early in the past. Most started running soon as I tapped and by the time I made it up one lateral and back down the other I had about three gallons of sap in the barrel I set up to collect in. So maybe tomorrow I'll light my first fire of the winter.
