BizCT Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 8/18: checked my non cell cams today. A bunch of different Bucks, but nothing huge. Two 7 or 8’s that are decent though. A few does, no fawns and no critters. Just lots of young bucks. Huge tree down too blocking the main trail we use for buck recoveries with truck and atv.2 of them better bucks are on 8/6 with a 4pt as well. 3 bucks in a row same time stamp.

Steuben Jerry Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 A chainsaw is a pretty handy thing to have, especially when you have a bit of land! Even if you only use it every great once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I've felled and cut up small trees before, but my concern with this one is the size and how it's off the ground so high in some spots. not sure how it will react to cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 That tree would be pretty easy to cut up Biz. Just start with limbing off the top, then cut in small sections to the butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they simply just drop straight down? Personal preference, but I'd leave the limbs on that one until you get a few chunks removed from elevated section of the trunk. That'll help prevent it from rolling when the log sections drop. I'd start somewhere in the middle. Cut down from the top until you see your cut starting to close up.(pay close attention not to go too far) At that time you can pound a wedge in the top of the cut to keep it open or it'll pinch your bar. Remove your saw and continue to connect your top cut from the bottom of the log. She'll slide right down like a drunk stripper on a greasy pole. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
