Anyone make their own maple syrup?

Do they have any issues with deer taking the tubing out?
I know it’s not pretty, but it’s a good vessel for syrup. I’ll keep practicing so I can do my homemade syrup justice.

Anyone else get slightly and confusingly aroused as a kid by Mrs. Butterworth’s ample bosom?
My wife and the neighbor lady made maple syrup for a few years as we had many large maple trees on our lane. .Her husband, Bud and myself kept the wood supply where they could hande it easily. This is about the time of the year we got started.
You need a ton of sap to produce a small bottle of syrup. And it’s pretty time consuming. Our giant sugar maple produced about a large to-go container of syrup after a week’s worth of sap. 43 ounces of sap makes 1 ounce of syrup.
I was always a Mrs Buttersworth guy. But 30 years ago I married a girl from Maine, so it’s been maple syrup ever since.
Shit is expensive, too.

I’ll probably get three gallons of syrup, but it’s not about the time. The only real time consuming part is boiling the water out. I think it will be worth it. It’s not for everyone obviously, but I want to do it.
We have a family friend from VT who comes to hunt deer every year. He always brings several quarts of the really good syrup and it has been several years since I've had anything else.
Tapping maple trees was on my wishlist of projects before I was captured and relocated into town.

Real maple syrup is so much better than that shitty table syrup I was brought up on. I’m glad my wife made me switch.
Okay, so my curiosity is piqued. If I were to order one bottle shipped here to blow my mind on how good maple syrup can be, what should I get?
@InsaneHawkJJP lob some to E with copious amounts of thc infused syrup.
Not specifically that I know of. He does replace the lines occasionally due to nature aspects.
Deer, coon, squirrels, weather and whatnot. All part of it.
Better than going to the trees and pouring the sap from the catch bucket into a 5-gallon jug and then pouring it into the holding tank.
Lots of lifting and time spent in the woods left out with the lines.

Op, what kind of Maples do you tap and how many trees roughly are you looking to do? I'm assuming sugar maple?
I've had maple syrup. I use it maybe twice a year. Not exactly a connoisseur.

Man, if you could make your own and ejaculate it, I bet you'd get a LOT more BJs!!
Is it weird that after I started this thread, one of the first previews for shows on Amazon video was Sticky, a show about The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist?
So I watched it and really like it.
