Found this while hunting this year ...... I’m not as mad at them like I use to be. I can’t stay in the stand as long as I use to and my feet get colder than they use to.

Found this yesterday while clearing a trail for my utv. It was carved into a tree down by the creek. Can anyone tell me the date? It was carved deep into the tree. Under it was the initials SW and above it some other initials. Three differnt people who were with me all say three different dates, 1735, 1836, 1930. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/01/full-54614-332315-img_2387.jpg) Where is the tree located? County, near by City? What kind of tree is/was it? Is the tree still growing? Out in the country, near Hughes Springs in east Texas. Largest city is Texarkana about an hour away. Tree is dead now. A storm came through two years ago and ripped off the top. But I don't know what kind of tree it is. 1936....any of the other dates simply make the tree too old (odds are next to nothing to have a tree still alive or standing 287 yrs later or even 186 yrs later). 1936 is believable at 86 yrs old. FWIW, there is a pecan tree in Dallas that is officially recognized as being alive at the time of the signing of the signing of the Declaration of Independence...246 years ago.
