Don't need to cut a whole tree.













Merry Christmas to all!

When I saw the title my first thought was "this is going to be good".
Followed closely by "and something you'd yell at your kid for."

Nice tree.
Merry Christmas!

I've used my 16 ga to shoot limbs off creek bottom willows where we had California quail hung up out of reach, but this is a first. Thanks for the chuckle.

I have used the 16ga. to shoot grape vines in two that grew into the next tree and would not let a 6-8 inch sapling fall when I was clearing around the hunting shack. 3/4 oz. #8 shot at 20 ft. or so chews them right up and it was a Sweet 16 with a tight mod. choke.

Merry Christmas

Griff

A "Hold my beer . . . . Watch this!" moment, I'm sure. Surprised

Very nice.

I’ve trimmed many of limbs out of reach around tree stands with a shotgun. Works great.

Most of my 16 ga. tree cutting involves missing a grouse.

WyoChukar,

You bet especially big Hemlock Trees! Trimmed a few by accident myself.
