Last summer I bought a place with about an acre of timber. A large portion of the woods had grape vines growing up to the tops and creating a huge heavy canopy. Concerned for the future of the trees, I waited until fall (leaves dropped) and started cutting the vines at the base and started pulling them out of the trees. I soon realized that I was breaking a lot of limbs and causing damage to the trees. I then decided it would be best to just go around and cut the base of all the vines and let them die, dryout and fall out of the trees on their own. I wouldn't recommend you try pulling the vines out, as you'll likely damage the trees.
