  1. Thankfully I was given a heads up from one of those guys about whom wrench rants. He said if I had any plans to get another ash harvest I better get it done before the borers got here. Which I did. Sadly it looks like it was the last one.
  2. Absolutely. There is no way that I would cut, split, and haul firewood to try to sell it to campers. When I sell logs, I hire a logger who has the proper equipment to go into extremely hard to reach areas, cut the trees and bring the logs to collection points. Then I contact the buyer who comes, inspects and pays on the spot. All I have to do is collect the check and go to the bank, and head to the lake, not stand by the road hawking bundles of wood. I also have some wood chucks who will cut up the tops, split them and stack them in the barn on shares.
  3. Once again where did you get your information and to what type of logs are you referring?
  4. J D even though we are actually able to see the results we are probably wrong because wrench is a renowned forester who knows more about ash trees and logging than we do.
  5. I never said anything like that. What I said was that ash is not premium fire wood. Maybe you should take the time to read before you post.
  6. You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Ash logs are specialty items for specialty buyers. They are not marketable for firewood. I’ve been selling various kinds of timber for a lot of years. My most consistent buyer is located in Oklahoma. Before we sold off 1000 of our acres we were logging one farm or another every year or so.
  7. I don’t find it intriguing, I find it costly in that I can no longer harvest them for lumber, only second class firewood.
  8. So how many of them are connected to holes bored into the trees and the flat headed bores under the bark?
  9. No not all of us switch. Myself, I will switch even with the bite on just to see if something else works better.
  10. I can’t speak for most of your listings but they got it spot on with the ash borer. I have standing dead ash trees all over the place.
  11. If I were you I’d be looking around Jimmy or one of the Music Creeks. That would keep you within 20 miles with half a lifetime of places to fish.
  12. Good trip. Nice brown fish. I had a feeling that you would be getting out there. I’ve been waiting for you to post something. It’s been like summer here. I’m busting a gut wanting to get back on the water, hopefully only 6 more days.
  13. A friend of mine used to fish for them below Truman dam.
  14. Both arms are Sac River arms.

    Have you called the Cape Fair Marina to see if they handle them?

    I don’t think it is open.
  17. I saw a haul them around in the boat, drive into the arena and line up to drag the fish out in front of the audience once down in Texas. I don’t need to witness that again.
  18. Mine came today. I didn’t find any thing that I wanted.
  19. Did it actually smell like smoke? What we were seeing didn’t really have a smell. I’m beginning to think that it was some kind of cedar pollen though I have never seen it before.
  20. You might give Tom Stadler at Championship Marine a call. They do all kinds of boat work. If he doesn’t do it he probably knows someone who does.
  21. There was hardly any wind at all around Big M.
  22. It was like a spring not winter day. I had a great time. I’ll be in touch as soon as I get a release.
  23. That sounds like a good cold front morning to me. I thought about cranks but after throwing the Arig I was ready for something light and easy.
  24. Good going. We caught some but had to work hard and cover lots of territory.
