So I see this ad on Craigslist:

I have just cut down a large sugar maple tree that has been dead for years. it is cut and ready for pick up, The base is about 49 inches in circ.

I IMMEDIATELY called and it's already gone. It went up THREE HOURS ago. >.<

In your area, probably doubly so. Folks would be at that like flies around .........stuff.

 

[chinkapin_oak]

around here you have to call in less than an hour or its taken.

Yep. Here,too. You actually have to be AT the scrounge and have the wood loaded within a half hour/ hour , or forget it. MADDENING! :ahhh:

I hear you, I answered an ad from a rancher that had elm for free. It took like a week just to get to talk to him, he'd had so many calls he wanted to meet me first, almost like ajob interview! Good thing I showed up with a truck, trailer, chaps and saw - I guess he thought I knew what I was doing. I can now cut all the dead elm I want on his ranch, middle of nowhere and no competition. Once you get to know a couple folks, it really helps!
