Looks like a young American Elm to me. But I am guessing.

I think you're right, it looks like a bitternut hickory, Carya cordiformis, to me. I thought maybe butternut (Juglans cinerea) which is in the same family but the twigs would have chambered pith instead if that were the case.
The usual defining feature for bitternut hickories for me are the terminal buds, that sulfur yellow look is pretty distinctive against the light grey bark. There's a big one at work with a few young offspring in the area that look identical to this picture.

Good to see you @JD3000
That's certainly Juglandaceae
I don't think it looks quite right for C. cordiformis - buds are too dark.and stick out a little bit much. I think the leaf scars are too big too - those almost look like Juglone - but the bark is wrong for that.
Maybe Carya illinoinensis? Woody Plants in North America also lists C. aquatica as a similar species with more brown buds....but I'm not familiar with that. Native looks too far south, but Dirr lists it to Zone 6

reminds me of wing nut. But my ID skills suck outside of my region. Also no clue why I’m in italics

Did you accidentally push the big "I" on the left side above the text box?

You ever decide what you want to call that tree?
