White pine usually has 5 delicate looking needles in a bunch. If you look up, they'll look on the fine side. P-pine will have 3, longer heavier needles in a bunch.

White pine will have longer, finer cones. P-pine has round, sturdy cones that really hurt if you get hit by them when playing PC Baseball or having a cone fight.

Pondie cones make the best projectile weapons!! LOL

Pinecone fights bring back a lot of memories. . . A guys got to be careful that you don't get bit just grabbing one -- the wound stings forever.

LOL, We used to have cone fights as kids, I don't know much about pine trees as most of the wood i cut is hardwood but i think most our trees are long leaf pines.:msp_confused:Their cones are not big and are lightweight when they fall. Now when they are green is when you can hurt someone with them.lol

Shortleaf Pine is probably what you see in Arkansas. You'll probably see lots of Loblolly pine as well.

Shortleaf Pine is king in Arkansas. I read somewhere Arkansas has the largest concentration of Shortleaf Pine in the U.S. Trying to find that article now.

Shows ya what i know.lol I knew it was either long or short. Thought it was the long though. I know which ever one it is, we have a lot of them. There is a lot of paper company land here that grow them. The lease we hunt on is owned by paper companys.

Is it Georgia-Pacific? We have a lot of Weyerhaeuser ground here down in the Broken Bow area.

It was mostly International Paper, They have sold a bunch of land off though. The land we hunt on is owned by Red Mountain Timber. They bought it from IP about five years ago. There is land here owned by Georgia Pacific too. Don't know about Weyerhaeuser.

It had a good lean. . . Boring the heart prevents barber-chair, or fiber pull. He also sniped the stump, which sent her flying into lay.

The stump is so embarassing I almost cried (missed the intersection on the face coming up from the bottom real bad and had to hack-job the rest out and also the 2' mohawk that was left), I'm heading back up there Thursday and if I can knock one over that doesn't leave a completely crappy stump I'll get a pic or two

Grab some flagging tape from Big John's, Walmart, Montana Ace, or etc. Carry it with you, it has a lot of good uses. One of which is training yourself on your face and back-cut.

Before you start cutting, wrap the tree with tape (once around). Make sure it's level. Cut below the tape and use it as a guide for your cuts. This is just one trick of many. . . Give it a try.
