In WA it has to be down, can't even take standing dead. Plus you only have a 50' window on either side of the road to harvest. But right now there is probably a couple hundred cords already cut and stacked just sitting on the side of the road.

$5 / cord for deadfall and standing dead here (MT). Standing dead is significantly more fun. A few minor restrictions (no cedar, no larch in the winter, etc.). Picked up most of a cord yesterday; some larch and some crappy fir that was already down and easy to grab.

In Inyo National Forest, California, it is $14 a cord and it has to be on the ground. As far as I am concerned leaners count. I have been done cutting since May 4th and split by hand all summer. Between my neighbor and I we have 12 cords split and stacked.
Whoever took made that owl thing has ay too much time on their hands or too many mushrooms in the freezer. By the time stacking comes around all I want to do is be done.

In the Nicolet-Chequamegon National Forest it is $20 for 4 cords and you can take standing trees as long as they are dead and less than 18 inches DBH. I've cut 5 loads so far this fall with three being brought home. I need at least one more load. I've got a lot of oak, but have been finding more dead maple the last two years.

Cut my last load of wood for the season. I tried an Oregon chain on my Stihl based on a recommendation. That will probably be the last time I do that. I was able to cut two links from a large oak before it started to significantly dull. I can cut two loads with a Stihl chain before it gets as dull as the Oregon chain did off of two cuts. Now it's time to split the wood. I got a head start on a few pieces that still had some moisture but now I'll be able focus on splitting.

What's your favorite splitting tool?
Mine is an 8lb. Splitting maul with a Fiberglass handle. I got tired of replacing hickory handles every two years, and the 6lb. mauls don't split like a heavy maul does.
I see a lot of people splitting wood with an axe, Axes are for chopping wood (cutting a log in two pieces), Mauls are for splitting rounds.

Good question but this was discussed at great length last wood-splitting season:
http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...splitting-mags"... Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards." – Edward Abbey
