I started my get ready for spring bathing suit body conditioning this past weekend.

I started to cut back portions and taking long walks up and down hills in my forest to survey the land. It is easier to do so with all the leaves off the trees and the winter snows melted off. I found these two buck sculls the I will display some where. The one on the left I believe I shot with a bow and could not find so it was a sweet find/recovery for me. The right one was an older buck.

today's exercise was going up and cutting down two young poplar trees to bring down hill to the new home O have been slowly building to debark and put in side the house to cure for a year before I can use them as railings and to build furniture with. I need to fell and debark four more for sure. Using an 1800's draw knife with wear some fat off of this 60 year old for sure, Good buy to my Thanksgiving and Christmas fat stores.

What I need to fill in as of yet and why I am harvesting the trees.
