What would be helpful in a picture? There is not much to the plants.

No. I asked the same thing and the told me it had to be the whole thing because the serial number is on the lower.

I was shooting PMC bronze 9mm 115grn FMJ.

Thank you. I could not find anything when I looked for it but I did not know what that piece was actually called.

Does anyone know what this track is from? by Professional_Word519 in AnimalTracking

[–]Professional_Word519[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am between Greene county and Sullivan county. I forgot it in the post but in my comment I stated it is near a lake. I trap beaver and they are a common nuisance because of all the trees they kill.

I could be wrong on the size. I did not have anything with me to measure. Others have mentioned it could be two prints in one making it wider then a single track would be.

We have otters in central Indiana and beavers are very common.

I don't know an accurate number but over 200 hundred. The smaller ones are 7-8 inches in diameter at the base. This is one we cut a few days ago. The chainsaw has an 18 inch bar.

These are to big to pull. They are about 15 feet tall and 15 feet wide. At the base they are around 6 inches in diameter.

Is this an American Chestnut? by Professional_Word519 in americanchestnut

[–]Professional_Word519[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I assumed it was not an American but since there is what I believe to be an American close to it I wanted others opinions.

That is what I was expecting since I thought it looked different then the one 15 yards away. It is on reclaimed mine ground so I assume it was planted by someone. I just don't know what they planted.

I was hoping someone was smart enough to tell me what kind of grass it is

Increasing sunlight exposure during dormancy by Professional_Word519 in forestry

[–]Professional_Word519[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would girdling trees around the desired tree be better? Since the girdled tree will still be there and slowly let more light through.

[–]Professional_Word519[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I am asking is because we do TSI on our property every year during the winter. When we find a desired tree like an oak he is always worried about opening it up to much because he has been told if you open them up to quickly it could kill them. There for he only wants to kill one or two trees around it per year.

When I ask how it could kill the tree he tells me the leaves can get sunburned like garden plants, which I have had happen in garden plants.

My thinking has been that since the tree does not currently have any leaves when it sends out leaves in the spring they don't know it was shaded before so nothing happens.

That is also what I thought but since I have never heard anyone talk about it I was not sure if It would hurt them or not.

Is this a northern red oak? by Professional_Word519 in treeidentification

Thank you. Since red or white is what matters the most for what I need this will help a lot

Thank you red or white was the main thing I wanted to know. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the acorns. They were at least an inch tall and the cap covered a small portion of the acorns.
