On my morning hike saw the Christmas tree growers cutting trees. Thousands will come out of Avery county. In the woods found three scrapes and one rub. The rut is starting. Three miles up and down hills including a 150 yard grunt up steep Heart Attack Hill. Will put out some cob corn for the turkeys and deer.
My first job, from when I was 13 until 16, was on a small Christmas tree farm. I used to love wholesale cutting season. We cut and baled hundreds of trees a day from mid-October thru November weekends, put them up in the barn, then loaded them onto flatbed trailers. Using a handsaw, I used to be able to keep up with a guy using a chainsaw for the first hundred or so trees. 10-12 strokes to get through a 4" trunk was doing pretty good. The only thing I didn't care for was, one would get wet through-and-through on some cool fall mornings, getting under the trees to cut
them.

Re: What did you get today?
The other part part of the haul from the treasure trove trip. So good. Most of the stuff on his shelves, which are dwindling, are no newer than 2021 or so.
Edit: The GH and Scottish Blend are from the Kretek International days. Pretty neat.
