Tree ID

Postby teul2 » Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:59 pm

Found this huge burled tree today while turkey hunting in the delta. Anyone ID it from the pic. I didn't get any other pics of it. That is my 28in barreled shotgun for a size reference.

River Birch is what I have come up with also.
Wish I had the equipment to get this sucker out of the woods. It is HUGE!.

Cut into sections and drag it out with an ATV. Where there's a will, there's a way.
