A lot of pain, with no reward.

     I can feel the frustration, and don't blame your anger, but like it was said, let it go, and don't waste your time over it.  It is a waste, and after all you did to get it through to them.  Well, Karma, has a way.  ;) I hope they do light it up.  Then at least you will feel somewhat, that closure has been achieved.  Not that, that will make up for all the bow wood.  There are a myriad of ways for costly revenge, but those things sometimes have a way of coming back on you.  But if you were to wait a year or so...... ::)  Just kidding, just wait for them to light it up.  I know it would frost my butt, for that to happen.  My major sin is revenge.  But I have learned to let some things go, and not ruin my limited time here on earth, with anger. ;)  I hope the rest of the New Year, goes well for you.  Take care.

Next time take a log chain with you and pay the SOB to drag it out with the dozer. Most of those guys don't want to do anything that gets in the way of getting done with their job. Money talks.

what hurts me, is i feel like i just broke 20 bows... but didnt learn a thing... that is kind of the depression i feel...
i could have gotten 2 seven foot sections, and 1 six foot section, split into 4, split those into two, and do some sisters of each of them ^.^ soo... o.o if i am doing math right, 44 bows? all very long staves.... gone...

I think you are counting on a lot of "Blue Sky" there....some of those staves wouldn't have been any good, in reality you probably only lost 40 staves. 

Here in the Bow Wood Wasteland I can sympathize with you.  Show me a piece of wood like that and I'll herniate every disc in my back and blow out my bottom O ring just getting that sucker to safety!!! 

sailordad:
now theres an old saying that goes something like this
"dont count your chicks before they hatch"
i think its fitting for this story
dont consider it lost bows or staves
cause its not
it just lost wood at this point
now from the land owners point of view
he said you could have it probably because he wanted it gone
after all they did cut it down right?
and you told them you were gonna take it
they came back and it was still there and not gone like they wanted
so he did what he had originally planned for it
he got rid of it

yes i realize how hard it is to get wood for bows,i dont own land either and i live in a city too
if i see someone cutting down trees i stop and inquire within about getting limbs,trunk or whatever
i then take it at that time regardless of how much work it is to get it home
if folks are cutting trees down its usually cause they want to get rid of them now
they usually dont want to see the wood laying around after its been cut

JackCrafty:
Ouch.  I feel the pain. >:(

Been in a similar situation but mine involved deer parts and turkey feathers.  It's amazing what some fools will throw away because they don't want to be "bothered".

Anyway, I turned the anger into a fierce determination to find a better way of gathering materials.  Now I'm swimming in the stuff. ;D
