Here is a listing for tension:  http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/FPLGTR/fplgtr113/Ch04.pdf

This is for pine, not hickory, but it does list tension parallel to the grain: http://www.southernpine.com/designvalues1.htm

This one lists many woods, including Hickory, but NOT tensionat all: http://www.woodbin.com/ref/wood/strength_table.htm

You may be able to use the second reference to compare pine to hickory and get a ballpark tensile value for hickory.

This link lists general properties and has some interesting data, but no numbers: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/PM329.pdf

This one states that "Due to difficulties in testing and the limited use for such data, tension parallel to the grain has not been extensively measured and/or reported to date." : http://members.cox.net/messman123/Laboratory%20results.htm

Rats - this was supposed to be an answer to LaserXeon's question, not a separate post.  Sorry about that.
