    Dad lined this one up for us earlier this week. We ran over today and winched it out of the woods and off the hill. Got two 16"- 18ft lengths plus some limb wood.

    Nice score, Smokinpiney!
    Was it dead standing, laying down, or full of leaves?

    It was a live tree taken out by the storm a few weeks ago. The brush pile behind the tree is from it. Dad's going back to chip it next week.

    Sounds like that is a bit bigger than a DR. Good to have the right tools for the job.
