Tree indetification

[buffalojim]

Just curious if anyone wanted to take a guess at what type of tree this is by the bark. pic was taken late hunting season so no leaves. My bad. have several and they are ginormous. Like i said, just curious. Thanks

Ash.

Not a doubt in my mind, that's Ash bark 100%.  Just threw a piece in my stove.

That means the crack is an ash-crack?

Keep a eye on the ash trees, the ash borer  Beatles are taking a toll on them. If you see large light brown patch’s  on the trunks the Beatles have killed it.

Nice ash.....

Some folks just have way to much time on there hands

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. It doesn't look like ash to me.

I'm betting they are on an old fence line or field edge and are about 3' in diameter or more. 

[buffalojim]

You'd win that bet. Some of them are on an old fence line

Bass looks more like maple bark.  That is definitely Ash.  You know it's bass when your saw falls right through it with very little resistance.

 

Ash can get pretty flipping big, we have this monstrous old ash that, somehow, is still hanging on to life that would take 4 grown men linking arms to get around.  I'm loathe to cut it down, though I know the borer is going to kill it soon.

Those bastards took down one of my favorite hunting trees a few years back. This thing had a 4ft+ trunk and blamo it's gone so I had to move 20 - 30 yards away to find a more suitable tree to throw a stand in

Googled Ash Bark Pictures and have to say I would agree. Let Em Grow's knowledge is unsurpassed I would say. Thanks

And yet they look real stable and are great climbing trees....until they snap with you in it. We had a ton of tree in the 3S program property killed off this year.

Climb an ash with a climber and try to descend after a dark to dark and you’ll know it. That bottom section is locked in tight   I’ve sworn many a times trying to get back down

I seem to have that problem a lot with black walnut trees

[buffalojim]

It does look a little like bass as well. have to wait till spring to take pics of leaves. Thx everyone

 

[NonTypical]

Take a pic of the branch structure. That will usually be a dead giveaway if the leaves aren’t present. 

[biggamefish]

Could be ash but look at butternut or walnut cottonwood, sasafras. Without a crown or leaf I'd it's hard  to tell with just bark.

It's a box elder, member of maple family bark similar to ash. Leaves more maple like ,pretty much useless even as fire wood, good logger would of dropped them and let rot.
