buckee Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Nothing like a little cold snow down the neck, ...eh. It sure is beautiful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Nice looking, but nasty stuff to hunt in! Our last day of rifle season looked like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Beech has to be one of the prettiest trees there is. Great pic Don. Still rather confused about that snow. You're only 120+/- miles from me, and it was in the 50's Saturday. You must have got lake effect off Erie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 LOL...nice pics. I got about 2.5 pounds of snow down the back of the neck on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I love hunting snow. Sadly we typically dont see it until after season ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Wait 'til summer. I'll show you American chestnut. If you have American Chestnut over 20', there's more than a few arborists in America that want to talk to you. http://www.acf.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Nice pic Don. Have a few beech trees around our property. Don't usually see much if any snow here during our seasons though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing.........I contacted a gal at Penn State who's big into the restoration deal with the ACF. She couldn't have given a crap....................except wanting my $100 to join their organization. They can kiss my chestnuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Interesting. Any of them pollinating yet? If you have blight resistant trees I'm sure they'd waive the $100 entrance fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwoods07 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Nothing like a little cold snow down the neck, ...eh. It sure is beautiful though. Errr, that's the worst feeling in the world!! When you're climbing up your stand and hit a twig and a bucket of snow fills up the back of your coat.

Strut10 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Interesting. Any of them pollinating yet? Yep. Burrs all over the ground under the one. Couple under a few others. If you have blight resistant trees I'm sure they'd waive the $100 entrance fee. I'll just keep my trees and my hundred bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever eat any of the nuts? We have some Chinese chestnut in the area and they are pretty good. Deer and squirrel love them too though, so you have to be around when the burrs crack.

Strut10 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Ever eat any of the nuts? No. Didn't find the bunch of burrs until a couple weeks ago. It's a new tree in a different area of the Ranch. I never knew I had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'd start checking that tree in September with a pair of binocs and keep a close eye on it if you like chestnuts, they are delicious. While you're at it, check your beech trees too. Beech nut is small, but very tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
