We "dig" these in January/February when the Herps are pretty much inactive (the snakes are really worse than the gators )there anyway.

Don't think I would be standing in waist deep water to dig around there...... John

Nice trophy John

I'd say mount it on the wall, but I wouldn't want you to strain anything

Any thoughts yet on how you'll style this?

I wonder what the differences are... taxodium subspecies or environment or both perhaps. I collected a baldie about that size..will try and post a picture so you can see the structural development of our trees. I had to dig something with size because I am going to be old and grey by the time my black pine develop any trunk... Last edited by kingkong : 3-Oct-2007 at 09:45 PM.
