I have found a spot to cut some Osage but I can't get to it with all the snow and frigid cold we have right now.
are you married? do you have kids? be a man and send them for it! just kidding. that sucks. i have four bows going right now. i won't go in my shed where my pully system is because it's too damn cold.
don
And your telling Ranger to be a man, but you won't use your shed. your a fellow N. Yorker, you should be used to it-haha Im just kidding too
i tried to be a man. i said to my wife, "wife, take my bow out to the shed and put it on the pully and let me know how the tiller looks". i can't repeat what she said.

How much snow yea got Ranger?
Some were around 20" and that's not counting the drifts.
DOHHHH!!! I would either do what Don said..lol or wait til the melt off.
I'm supposed to cut osage in Illinois the 19th. Hope we get some warm weather before then to melt most of that and then a hard freeze so we don't have to deal with a mud bog. I ain't picky :)
You guys are going about it all wrong. I found a farmer in southern Indiana that is cutting 7 foot pieces all winter for me, then storing them in his barn unitl I can make the 10 hour drive for the logs. Now thats how you get osage out of the fields in winter! I plan on making at least a few bow's for him of course. If all goes well I will have enough osage for life......x 3. He and his brother burn it in their stoves to get rid of it! Ouch..........
Chris, tell him to coat the ends of the logs with elmers wood glue or paint to keep them from checking. This should be done as soon as the tree / log is cut.
