    Wow, thats alot of taps in a tree. Maybe there over tapping trees their going to remove? Or are all of them tapped in the same manor? Wonder how long the trees would last....

    No, unfortunately MOST trees are tapped like this and even SMALLER trees that shouldn't even BE tapped

    From the looks of the taps from other seasons the tree is about dead. Im thinking this is a joke.

    I hope he's doing that damage to his own trees and not somebody elses. It's a shame either way to over tap like that.

    Looks like this was not the 1st year - look at all the old tap holes as well. Yikes!
