I read something on here not long ago. It might have been a Randyism along the line of : when you get a big saw, the big tree jobs seek you out.
I appreciate that "big" is relative and for me at the mo' that's a Dolmar7900 still waiting on a few bars (and the $ for a 32" bar), etc before initiation. The aforementioned trees I looked at being the 4-6 1/2' trunks that have sought me out. Personally, maybe I just need to go make me a nice cup of harden the fluck up, but I think I may turn down that job, as much of a buz it would be to drop what are big trees by my standards. If down already, I'll buck'em rather than leave them there, but I'm struggling too much (and frankly, it's pissing me off somewhat) with the thought of being responsible for dropping majestic trees for no other reason than a few extra m2 of grazing land. Do I need the money? Hell yes. But I know I'd beat myself up too much for dropping them.
There's a few windblown and hung nasties there that I could deal to with a clear conscience, and a few on a boundary line that if blown over would wreck neighbouring property. But that's about it.
Now, I know of a farmer up North who has sprayed 'nuka a year or so back and it's dead standing. That's one of the highest value firewood timbers we've got and b/c it's dead, I wouldn't feel too bad about clearing those natives out.
These are just my personal thoughts, and I in no way project my rationale upon others or use it to judge others for their decisions.
Oh, and thanks to those who've repped me. I still haven't figured out what that's all about or what the reps do, but thanks anyway.
