The Wild Hunt News<p>“I should pour a little of this back onto the roots,” they say as we dip spoons in the maple syrup and argue about whether to reduce it more. “Pay it back.” “Why wouldn’t you give it something from your world?” I ask. “It gave you something of itself.” “You want me to give it blood?”</p><p><a href="https://wildhunt.org/2025/04/spring-magic.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wildhunt.org/2025/04/spring-ma</span><span class="invisible">gic.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spring</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cauldron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cauldron</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/harvest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>harvest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maplesyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maplesyrup</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plantingseeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plantingseeds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pregnancy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pregnancy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/witchcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>witchcraft</span></a></p>
okanogen VerminEnemyFromWithin<p>I know there are super <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MapleSyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MapleSyrup</span></a> experts out there, can folks share tips? I was not happy with the 5/16 alimunum spiles. I want stainless. I'm using bags because I think tubing will get ripped out by deer in no time. Are there alternatives?<br>And reducing, what are the options? I tried a fire and pot but lost patience and though i can get tons of firewood, it worked out to be easier to use a propane heater.... Also, i have vacuum pumps and lots of experience with vacuum bagging.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MapleSyruping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MapleSyruping</span></a></p>

Start earlier, careful cooking at the end, and also, i have another 4 or 5 trees to tap next year. 60-80 gallons of sap is not out of the question. Maybe 2 gallons of syrup if we do it right?

Isaac<p>Bottled the last bit of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maplesyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maplesyrup</span></a> for the year. Just over 47 gallons made. A new best for me, but only due to adding more trees. Things learned, met new people. Found more opportunities for next year.</p>
Martin Guay 👨‍💻🌈🎮📱🍁<p>Just acquired a gallon (3.78L) of gold maple syrup. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/maplesyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maplesyrup</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/maple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maple</span></a></p>
Dan McCullough<p>Our maple syrup season has ended. We tapped our tree on Feb 22, which was a month later than normal. This winter in Massachusetts was consistently below 38° which is not ideal for sap flow. </p><p>We harvested 28 liters of sap which after boiling down, gave us a little over a pint of syrup. This really drives home why it’s so expensive!</p><p>Sap Totals:<br>2025 February 22 - March 23 = 28 liters<br>2024 February 1 - March 17 = 30 liters<br>2023 January 22 - March 12 = 36 liters</p><p><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/MapleSugaringMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MapleSugaringMonday</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/MapleSyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MapleSyrup</span></a></p>

Isaac<p>I was propositioned by an old lady today.</p><p>While emptying a sap tank, a car pulled up. Old lady rolled down her windows and asked "Can I ask you a question?"</p><p>"Sure!" I replied and walked closer.</p><p>She then says "You can tap my trees."</p><p>Thankfully, it wasn't a euphemism and she was just a neighbor who would be OK with me making syrup from her trees too.</p><p>So, I'll bring her some of this year's <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maplesyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maplesyrup</span></a> and check out her property. No, not like that! 😃</p>
