More pictures..SOLVED, it is cherry

[Mesquite Man]

Hi all,

Here are more pictures of the tree on my deer lease.  Could it be Cherry??  I just received a Black Cherry log from a friend in Vermont and the bark between the 2 look very similar.



This is a picture of a broken branch I found.  Thought seeing the wood might help identify.

Thanks everyone.

SM, when I was younger, I could smell 'em a long ways off too ;) but, getting back to that picture, yes, I say it is cherry too.
