Sounds reasonable to me. Was it called a pike?

Kinda resembles The pole for that flag hanging on the wall... 
Ah for the memory. Wish I still had mine. I watched the annual log drive on the North Fork Clearwater when I was kid. For the life of me I can't recall the name of the pole. somehow pike doesn't seem quite right.

nelson,
yes, that could be a pike pole. it was used by bolt punchers or pond monkeys to move the log bolts onto the conveyer at the mill. river pigs,rollers and teamsters used long handle peaveys to drive the logs down stream. time-life books printed a real good logger history book,THE LOGGERS. marty
