Gary I've been waiting for this to drop so I could get something around it so it looks like Sunday will be that day. This also screws up my trail for the rhino and the ability to get at other maple that is down.

Be careful Zap
That one looks dangerous. When I got my house I had a big willow with some big broken branches in it. I didn't have any equ then and was scraching my head trying to figure out how to get them cut out safely. I ended up throwing a small rope over it pulling a bunch of 6000 lb straps around it and yanking them out with my explorer. I never did get the stubs off the tree but I wasn't about to climb up 40' and cut them off.

Will do Billy, I have a rope (100 ft) with a two pound weight attached on the end that I can throw around the top of the tree (picture number three) then hook up the rope to the winch.
