2 rants, I'll try to keep them short. My uncle is a retired farmer had 60 acres of woods near us. His son usually takes care of all the needs there, but this year, my uncle has some health issues, and this has taken up a lot of my cousin's time. He has not yet been able to make firewood. We decided to help out with it. I contacted a family friend, and it sorta snowballed from there. Saturday we had 10 people show up and cut well over half of the wood they will need for the winter. Now for the rant. Uncle has a neighbor, early 20's, never held a job, southern transplant, He lives on a half acre of brush, weeds, and old foundations of an old farmstead, in a rundown moble home abandoned by his new stepdad 15 years ago. he fixed up the plumbing to have sorta running water, and has walled it off and lives in the kitchen. He cooks on a gas grill and heats it with a wood stove. He asked my uncle if he could cut firewood on that woods, and my uncle told him "take all you want". He has taken this to mean he has the rights to all the firewood on this lot. at about 3:30 in the afternoon Saturday we had to stop cutting for a half hour as he had 3 county squads there screaming at them to arrest us for stealing "his" wood!!!!. He argued with my cousin that my uncle had given him all the wood there. We just explained to the officers that the wood was going to the land owners home and that was the end of it, But the kid followed every load home to see that we were not stealing any of it.
Rant 2. in the last 2 years one person aproached my uncle about walking across ( not hunting on) this woodlot, to get to his deer stand on ajoining land. When I was skiding out the trees to cut up I found 7 homemade tree stands put in over the last two years.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
