Peddling, solicting same thing? Most towns want you to get a permit for a small fee.1) To get a look at who you are 2) Let the local police know you are there and what you are doing there. You are not the mailman and not the watermeter reader man so maybe your the guy casing homes for a break in? 3) It helps to give the locals a better chance at getting a real tree guy vs a fly by night crew. A lot of folks will call to see if the tree is on the towns property and the town will pay to have it taken down.Guess who gets the referal if they let the town know they were soliciting? The guy on the phone is going to ask,Who do you know that will cut my tree? That is before he picks up the Yellow Pages.
As to the use of gaffs, here you are not supposed to use them in any tree unless the tree is coming all the way down.Get caught and get fined. Could the little old lady charge the fly by nighters with damaging her tree?
