I've searched the site, but I cannot find the legend where the little trees under my name are explained. I know it's related to how many posts one makes, but how many? I've been stuck on two trees for a while (and I know I'm not a prolific poster), and I want desperately to make it to three! Maybe five eventually!

But seriously, where can I find that?

Hover your cursor over the tree on the farthest left under your name and it will tell you how many posts you currently have made. I think 500 gets you to 5 trees, and not sure what the scale is below that.

Oh.... so cool. I get it. Thanks

I'm at 41. Meh.

I hope somebody knows the scale from 2-5.

Thanks again

I've been waiting a long time to get my fifth tree (full forest). As an avid bow hunter, I think it would be nice to own an entire woods to hang treestands. My time is getting closer every year on this site.

Trees don't really matter to most in this community. It's the contribution to the conversations and the person behind the trees they really like. I have been here well over a decade and my trees haven't climbed much. Now if posts in the chat room counted... lol

Wow - I thought I have posted a lot. Kanoes did over 25,000. Butthead is over 8,000. I am less than 1,000. My pine cones feel so small . . .

If my math is right, I'd be getting fairly close to a bear paw by now if I weren't secretly posting under 4 separately registered online personalities!

You cant trade them but they get you things. You get a 50% discount at the Amish Radio Shack. You get free guided Smallmouth Bass tours from Jim at the Great Outdoors Bait shop in Ely. You get preferred parking at all wingnights. The greatest gift you get from the trees is you get a free personalized portrait of yourself from none other than Mooseplums himself. Here is my portrait
