Here's my ugly mug- Burn out prep near the Middle Fork Fire, 09/08. These snags averaged 40-45" in diameter and around 160-200' tall, so it was a fun day.

I sliced a little snipe off the front of it- I wanted the butt to hit the ground first and the snag to "roll out" and stay in one piece as much as possible. The wildlife people like that because it's conducive to carpenter ant colonies.

Close- Shasta Red Fir aka Shasta Fir. "Abies magnifica var. shastensis".

Fun stuff to cut- the wood is heavy and dense for a conifer, carries a lot of water and those trees hit the ground with a "bang".:clap:

I just saw this, you say the wood is dense... When i started on that big fir i guessed the wrong natural lean so i started another face and ended up having a HUGE amount of hinge wood when she tumbled. Surprisingly i could have sold her as a veneer log. SOLID!!!

Well, This is my very first attempt to post a picture. I have been reading and admiring other guys pictures but couldn't figure things out. I broke down and had my son help me out.

What is the name of that animal?

Red Deer mate. I've shot dozens of them but this is physically the biggest one I've dropped. A lot of people hunt these things in Australia for sport but on the in law's farm they're actually a pest. No calibre restrictions, no limits, no open season etc etc. They wreck fences and carry ticks, disease etc. I shoot as many as I can.
