Anyone mark their log ends for ID purposes?

Yes. What made you think of that? I don't know if the cops were notified. I think not. The chaser apologized the next day and said it had been a bad day for him.

What made me think that? LOL...almost fifty years in the woods made me think that. I've never chased anybody with a branding hammer but I've thought about it a time or two. :smile2:

There's a good story about a government employee, in a county to the east of you, who got painted from head to toe with log marking paint. It happened back in the 70s so the statute of limitations has probably expired. Apparently he was annoying the log truck drivers and they ambushed him early one morning, stripped him naked, painted him all over, and turned him loose in downtown Wapato to find his way home. He resigned shorty afterward.

That looks like a hard one to get a good imprint with. Simple is best.
