Re: Pulling down a tree
I will tell you what we did down at the farm where we go shooting, but you are going to have to survey the situation at your place for youself.
I had a couple cases of 20ga shotgun shells that came out of an estate of a man that had been wheelchair bound since early 1960's. He was a bird hunter prior to that, so the shells were bought prior to his getting hurt. Not wanting to use them for hunting, I figured to just shoot them up, and knock all the limbs off a dead tree down at the farm at the same time. It worked like a champ because the shot was clumped together into a single mass (stuck together) so it was like shooting slugs. We took all the limbs off the tree, one shot at a time, and it was fun, but we didn't have to worry about where the shot went that missed the limbs. (Wide open spaces) We even took a pretty good piece off the top of the tree, about 25 foot long, so all that was left was a tall stump, which could be dropped with a chainsaw since the limb falling danger had been addressed.
