Finally remembered the camera. Me and longtime saw partner Aaron (guy running the Husky). Up on Swan Lake, mostly cutting right of way, some select cutting. Stumped high for removal. Cedar, spruce, white pine, lodgepole, piss fir. Good times, pretty spot, made some nice logs - Sam

Nice pictures Sam.

Good Pics Sam! looks like some pretty country.

Had time for a few more. Aaron falling a rotten cedar, bar stuck in core, Aaron with a nasty hanger, going to fix things, and me gunning one through an ugly layout (not my fault, had a bit to do with that first rotten cedar of Aaron's), lol - Sam

Was working on Lemhi Pass (7500 ft) the past couple days, snowing hard when we finished today, probably 30 without the wind. Back home here, down in the canyon, it's in the 50's, which don't feel to bad. Just nice and soaking wet, lol - Sam

Nice pictures Sam! That Swan Range is some fun logging. . . Saw the biggest Muley I ever seen up Beaver Creek.

Wanted the boss to stop the crummy so I could blast him, he wouldn't do it cause it was already late, and we were driving back to Kalispell. Damn fine buck he was.

Yeah I live around 1500-2000ft in elevation. All day yesterday it was in the high 40's, really windy, and with a fine mist.

A coworker snapped a few of me bucking a big fir blowdown out of a road today. I'll post 'em as soon as I get 'em.

Some pictures from the last few days. Got over 200 trees marked for cutting. Lots more pictures and videos coming in the next two months.

This first tree is from the last crappy video I had. Was a roadside hazard. Went down the hill and a tad bit into the creek.

Fairly steep ground for this part of the world.

Did a bore cut on this pine. Do that about once every 680 trees

Two of the 15 snags at Lost Lake Camp. Don't hit the regeneration!

This one sucked, nothing to dog into.

Good pics Jameson. That first one was a real ugly sob. How come you bore cut that other one? Small diameter that can't get a wedge in I've actually bored thru the face and out the back to make the room. Looks like you're havin fun though!

Add: Contrary to some popular belief directional small diameter can be a real pita when necessary.

Thanks for the good word.

As for the bore cut: spur of the moment. I hardly ever bore cut, unless I'm bucking. But then again I hardly ever buck. It's all cut and run here.

It's all cut and run here.

Thats the best kind!

My good friend, log cutter buddy

My buddy got a friggin' slug on the last day of WA archery this weekend. Called within 10 yards at the shot. 6 point Roosevelt Bull, right down the road from Slowp! I am so happy for him, he is a one heck of a good guy that scouted hard and worked his ass off for this bull. I am very proud!

A coworker got a 5 point in her yard last week. Hunt Packwood!

 

[Metals406]

That's a damn respectable bull! :drool:

Our archery is in full swing right now. . . General rifle starts end of October. I'd like to shoot me a bull like that, but the fact is, I love elk meat -- so I'll take the first legal one that crosses my path.
