. For those of you from the picnic forest areas ..... This is pretty nice easy ground for Southeast, Alaska . Not too brushy ...... You should see it when the brush is thick ..... Oh and incidentally .. While we were cutting on this day a brown bear over 900 lbs walked by .. Here is a pic of my fallers pack.

. Ruger Blackhawk Stainless in 45Colt loaded with 335gr Hard Cast LFN gc and 23 or 26 gr of H110 ..For a schossh over 1200 fps ... And I was thinking real serious about the 500 S&W ...... It wasn,t called the Big Bear Timber Sale for nothin..

45 Colt's a little light for bear that size isn't it? Better to have a 10ga double cut off to about 16", full of slugs, and hung in a Mad Max type holster.. Wha-BOOM!

I can smell that yellow cedar from here. Was that near Hoonah? I guess Tenakee Springs is still on the map?

I saw a mouse run out of the weeds last week. I almost had to pepper spray him.

Hi tramp bushler,
these are really nice pics, the wood looks great, we have no wood that is that big in Germany, the biggest that I have ever felled, were some oaks, with about 1,20m diameter, that have to be about 4 feet. But they were just about 25meteres high. Also some cottonwood all about 3feet, but a little higher.
Once in my life I will go to the US and want to fell some real big ones.

Greetings,
Johannes

We ran into a problem like that this spring in the Charlottes. Just a little black bear, but big enough I didn't want to go nose to nose. Don't remember how many oil jugs we lost, 10-15 maybe, couple packs that needed major patching, still have my lunch kit with the teeth marks in it! He was getting pretty brazen, coming within 20 ft, all while the saws are roaring and 4-5 ft spruce are shaking the ground! He was trapped and taken 60 km away. Two days later he was back at it! Needless to say he's no longer a problem!

[tramp bushler]

. I,ve got to get the sequence to posting the pics and writing the text so I don,t loose the typing , Which I consider work .... Most of the pics from this job I put on my wifes puter which died .. the pics got retrieved but they are in town on a disc ....This is wierd I keep getting the same pic repeat itself ..

 

[tramp bushler]

.See if this helps ?????????

. This cedar was leaning pretty hard over the line , thats why I had to put in a couple swing cuts and tap in a couple wedges ... Didn,t want it to screw up the leade.....

. Maybe I,ve gotter figerd now .

 

[Haywire Haywood]

Tramp... just a suggestion. When you post pics, hit enter to put a line space between the pics and the text.... like this.. I shrunk the pics so the repeat wouldn't be so irritating to the other viewers...
