Today’s proof of work. I spotted this huge standing dead Jack Pine 2 years ago while hunting about an hour from our house. Today I went and got it. I could only just barely fit 12 rounds in my truck since they were all 24-30” diameter. I’ll likely buck and haul another load tomorrow. Fit perfectly. It was a bit of a sketchy felling job. One ten inch diameter 60’ Jack Pine was growing up through the limbs of the tree I wanted, so I had to thread the needle and flop that one out of the way first. And the tree itself had a massive limb pointing opposite the intended direction of fall, making the weight calculation really unusual, and a split in the trunk parallel to the direction of the undercut that really increased the risk of “barber chairing”. Everything worked like a dream, and the branches suspended the trunk about 18” off the ground for nice easy bucking. Fun day, but I’m exhausted. Now I just have to blast it all apart with the splitting maul once it has dried a bit.
