busted- I have a big white oak co-dominate down in that hollar I been cutting. I'm dropping it 2moro, problem is that the fork is at my neck height. I'm not comfortable cutting that high on sloping ground. The growth seam goes to the ground so no way to dump both...I haven't even considered dropping one side then the entire stem! Hmmm...good Idea there ol'timer! LOL!
there are several choices in how to fall co-dominants.......depends on the situation
