I took a tree down Saturday for my neighbor, before I started the cut I made sure the the dogs, chickens, people where not in the way.

After notching I started the back cut, as the tree started to fall 9 chickens ran under the tree, and 3 got flattened.

I kinda felt bad about it but we all laughed a bit after the accident and chicken little jokes.

I played taps latter that night as I buried them in flour and fried them in the skillet.

See..........chicken little was right. The sky was falling. That was a real nice gesture playing taps.

Now tell the truth. ::) You were hungry for fried chicken and put feed where the tree was going to fall.  smiley_chop

That was some of the best fried chicken I've had for awhile. They didn't have much mean on them though, my neighbor was going to throw them in the woods but I couldn't see wasting them.

Were they so old that you had to hit them with such a big tenderizer ;D ;D

Not sure but that was some tender chicken, for now on I'll not use an axe, I'll drop a tree on all my chickens I butcher. :D

There is no need to say 'unleaded regular gas'. It's all unleaded. Just say 'regular gas'. It's not the 70s anymore. (At least that's what my wife tells me.)

Not to turn this thread to a down note, but last week a former pro football player was killed here in our county when he tried to save his dog after it ran under a tree he was felling. Be careful out there guys.

I had to drop a big, beetle-killed pine in my yard a while back.  I had everything all cleared out, but one of the dogs, ol' Knothead, found himself on one side of the tree, and all the others were on the other side.  They was all just settin' there, watchin' Papa do his thing, but when the tree started down, Knothead started feelin' insecure and made a mad dash for the others.  I thought he was a goner for sure, but he did some of the fanciest scrambling you ever saw.  He came out without a scratch, but I didn't see him again for about a half-hour.  He had come back, and been checked for injuries, by the time I got the next tree cabled and ready to drop.  When I cranked up the saw, he lit out for the woods again, and didn't come back for a WHILE! :D :D :D

Dang, that's kind of like the barn cats and the two step'n cows in the barn story I read here somewhere. Only your dog favored much better than the cats.  ;D
