Is this osage?

[Eric Krewson]

I may be done shooting tournaments, old age and all that go with it has me ramping down my activities, I even sold my camper when I realized my hitting the road again was very unlikely.

If the landowner will permit it you might try coppicing the tree (leaving a tall stump) then in a few years you can get some pretty nice staves.  All depends on how readily you can access the property as you would probably want to do some pruning of the new shoots.  We’ve had really good luck doing so with oak on a property I’ve hunted for 30 years.
