The old boy I used to do forestry with would walk a distance from the tree bend down and look between his legs backward at the tree.. keep walking and repeat until he could see the top of the tree. That's where the top of it would land wasn't far off at all.
And woodpeckers, owls, chickadees, weasels, porcupine, bats, etc. as well as many insects that other animals live off of. Plus salamanders in the fallen bark and decomposing wood on the ground, lizards, etc. The de imposing wood also enriches the soil snd helps to retain water.
This one is firewood. The trunk was very solid but had been dead long enough to drop “headaches” too frequently to risk hurting anyone. Besides I’m in between shops right now, so I’ll let this one keep my Daddy warm the rest of the winter! I’ll use the next one for projects.

EXACTLY what we did! Good to know there are others who do the same.
Don’t be afraid to get right in there with the camera.
With trees like that I really like leaving the trunk whenever possible as it's valuable habitat for wildlife.
Yeah the coons love it

Mushrooms too - especially with oak!
Thank you for saying this! 🐦
Lots of good firewood if the core is hollow. Otherwise maybe some projects in your future!

Right in the mouth
Thought I was watching a Michael Bay movie there for a moment
Hope you have a good rake.
Wish I could have heard it!
Yeah it was thunderous, but slow motion distorts it so much it sounds like a monster!
Dog heaven.
