I finished working in the shop today and stepped outside to see this one down not 150 yrds away. Didn't hear a thing. 2012-03-22_18-30-35_883-1.jpg 2012-03-22_18-29-45_784-1.jpg

I guess you have answered the age-old question that asks if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise? Apparently not.

It was used as a corner on the fence so there is some damage but it couldn't have fell in a better spot.



What took it down? A storm?

Chief we've gotten close to 8" of rain sense Monday. Nothing bad today I guess it was just its time.
 
Dairyman, I saw the radar and knew you were getting hammered with the rain. Well, at least you got some good firewood and now will have to set a good corner post.

Looks from here like it might be a Black...pretty good-sized too.
 
I've almost finished bucking the tops. Moved the cattle out so I don't have to worry about them getting on the road. Bad news it has a hollow spot, I'll have to wait to see how far down it goes because I'm off the the hayfield. I still can't believe it's only March.2012-03-26_19-28-05_39-1.jpg 2012-03-26_19-28-41_120-1-1.jpg 2012-03-26_19-29-21_746-1.jpg
