I've been collecting wood for a few years now but always stuff that was already down. I found a guy through CL who manages a property a few miles from my house with a bunch of standing dead trees.... figured a wide open field with nothing to hit was good place to try felling.
Victim was a standing dead hickory (?) 18-20" in diameter. I used the 036 and tried out the bore cut... did the face cut about 80% across, plunge cut leaving 1-2" hinge... then stuck in a wedge and cut out the back and it fell right about where I was aiming. Girlfriend managed to capture it on video. Any feedback on the my technique?
In an unrelated story, I did two small deer legs wrapped in bacon on the rotisserie and they turned out great!
