The wire was new and bright so it had been replaced the post were the same ones he had set 60 or so years prior . He was positive about this because one in particular that was odd shaped had skint his nose when they put it in the hole .when they replaced the wire they tied it to the line post instead of stapling it like they did when dad helped put it in

Gary Benson trapper G Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 21,716 Sandhills Nebraska	Originally Posted by claycreech I cut and sell hedge posts off my property. Mine are scatterred throughout my 80 acres of timber. They grow fairly straight in the timber. I’ve sold many hundreds. I cut them by order now. No 2 farmers want the exact same thing. Most here want them 10 ft. I cut and skid them out. They have to come get them and load them. They usually bring a skid steer to load them. Corners $40 Brace’s $25 Lines $15 I’m probably $5 to $10 cheap, but I’m kind of triple dipping on the deal. The guvment is paying me to do timber stand improvement, I cut the tops up for firewood, and I sell the posts. Is the timber stand improvement a federal deal or state? Life ain't supposed to be easy.

The wood is pretty, sort of orangish brown, with a pleasant pattern. It darkens with age to a deep reddish brown. The handles are really strong. They work well on sledgehammers, axes and hatchets.

Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

And both make great wooden bows.

The first program was through the state for 15 acres. The second time I signed up was through USDA. CSP program.
