First tree is in a fencerow, I'd like to bring it down in the lane where the camera is in the first pic. Pretty large, been dead a while, dropped three big widowmakers last month. Kinda afraid to stand under the thing, let alone cut on it.
Here's a close up of my hat sitting on the biggest widowmaker at the base of the tree. Behind the tree in the pics is the neighbor's field. Options seem to be to cut it and hope it doesn't drop a branch on me, try to pull it down, or just ignore it and let the wind take it into the neighbor's corn in a couple more years. The last option doesn't appeal to me very much, as it keeps dropping major branches in my main path to the woods.
