Being the ecologist you are, I am guessing you used a stick to pin his head down and grab it in order to take the measurement presented. 300
Here's a guy I wasn't expecting to see on my last hike;
Stumps,
A little over fifty years ago, an outfit that supplied rough stock for rodeos had some of us come out to test some new horses and bulls. They had a longhorn that, if it would be good rodeo stock, they would cut the horns back to legal rodeo length; otherwise they would cut them back full length for wall mounts. I ended up riding the longhorn and no matter where I was he could reach back and rake me with his horns. I don't know if they ended up cutting him short or long. All I know is that it was quite a ride.

How long do you have to boil it? Not long. I know the ratio of sap to syrup is way high. Like 7:1. One reason why it requires many trees. DM
Tony, that is a job. Hope it's worth it. In the summer time are the taps plugged, to prevent tree boars? DM
The sap to syrup ratio is closer to 40:1. I dont have a fancy evaporator so it takes a while. I only tap 7 trees, but each tap can produce 2 gallons on a good day. I've processed 30 gallons of sap the past couple days. Boil it down till temp reaches 218 degrees (at my elevation). 10 gallons of sap takes about 5 hrs.
