Yeah what bigfrank said. Keep that back cut above your notch. The tree will want to lean back on the saw if you cut below the notch. Even if the tree doesnt have a top, it shouldnt take too much wedging if its straight. The hinge being off the centerline of the tree is usually enough to make it fall the correct direction.
We have 5 cats. What we don't have is much of anything else on the property that is alive except for the dogs and horses. Birds, mice, ground squirrles, even snakes arent safe around " The Red Bank Mafia"
