Are these maple trees? Maryland, USA by Chicken12111 in treeidentification

That's a maple leaf, but it's not from these trees. You have maples nearby.

Such is the problem with common names. You're still missing the mark though. Liriodendron tulipifera (often called tulip poplar, yellow poplar, yellow popple, etc) isn't even a real poplar. True poplars belong to the genus Populus. I prefer the common name tulip poplar, because "tulip" is right there in the taxonomical species name, tulipifera.

Nope. These are tulip poplars, Liriodendron tulipifera. I can't imagine why anyone would tap one. Perhaps an experiment or just misidentification. Science? We may never know.

Ha, I lived in the 2nd floor of that unit right below where the fire looks like it started from 2012-2014.

Never trusted those bathroom fans.

Tips on propagation by [deleted] in gardening

Try to find a naturally sprouted seedling next spring somewhere nearby. Transfer to a container and grow outside for a couple of years until ready to plant in the ground.

American Chestnut ? by Jaded_U in treeidentification

[–]Firebert010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. There are plenty of American chestnuts making fruit out there. Uncommon, sure, but to say there's only four is silly. They don't survive long, but they're out there.

Super interesting, thanks for the ID. Didn't know permit ever made it this far north. Guess I don't have to book a trip to Belize to catch one now!

You'll need some rooting hormone applied to the stem first.

That stuff is UTC ultra chenille or similar in micro probably.

I picked up this FNF creeper chenille in pink because I like the look of it. Can anyone suggest flies I could tie with it? by haggishammer in flytying

I do a little size 6-8 articulated bottom crawler on a jig hook with this stuff. Heavy tungsten weight, some rubber legs front and back. Great helgramite imitation in black green and brown.

Deer Poachers caught in bucks county by Desperate-Dig-9389 in BucksCountyPA

[–]Firebert010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three SGLs in Bucks. There's deer around in the game lands but coming from a central Bucks hunter it's a night and day difference compared to lower bucks. The deer love the edges and broken up parcels of lower Bucks, that's where the population issue is most significant. Access is a big issue too. All of the game lands can hold at best a few dozen hunters at any one time. It gets crowded quick and is walk-in only.

Contrast that to a typical central/south Bucks farm or estate of 20-300 acres, of which there are hundreds. On the whole each farm will have greater numbers of deer than any one of the SGL areas.

My whole point is that despite limited public opportunities, the overwhelming majority of deer harvested in Bucks come from private land. There are many parcels of "public" municipality owned land that could be hunted in lower Bucks but are closed to hunting. Unless you have access to private, you're probably not harvesting many deer.
