Are these Hickory?

Apologize for the photos but still learning to use this camera. There are nuts and shells all over the place(I should have taken pics of those but forgot to). Owner wants the trees down because he's tired of cleaning up the nuts. They are fairly tall but not very large diameter which suits me fine! I was expecting something a bit more shaggy bark?

Could be pig nut hickory (almost a perfect round nut with a thin husk around the nut, nut has a bitter taste compared to shag bark).
Good fire wood either way.

I don't recognize the type of tree, but it doesn't look like hickory to me. However, if the trees produce nuts then hickory is a good guess. They aren't Black Walnut or Butternut, so that leaves hickory.

Bark has Pignut-type characteristics, most evident in the last pic. Go nuts on that stuff! :cheese:
