And for the love of Pete, don’t long arm the picture to make it look bigger!If successful on your tree hunt don't sit or pose on top of your tree for the kill pics
I think Clarke Griswold had the same affection for Christmas trees as youI have been accused of being far more picky about my Christmas tree than my trophies. This has caused "stress" in my wife, often causing her to want to kill me.
Who else tests their marriage with an annual tree cutting adventure?
Bummer. Careful, not being able to button my fly started me on walmart sweats and crocs. Eventually I descended into retirement.I know of one tree I’d like to cut...into a thousand pieces with a dull hatchet.
I was unloading a trailer load week before last and pitched one up over my head, tearing my rotator cuff. Merry Christmas to me, I won’t be tying in my own boots or buttonin my Levi’s for a couple months. but yes, I love cutting trees.
I've seen guys cut down 30' trees and just take the top 7'. Wanton waste.We got flipped off by an old hippie gal in Dunton. Apparently a 20' tree is just showing off.

I forgot my sawzall. But I remembered the axe. I didn't hear the end of that one. Great fun when you are a fat old man standing in the snow at 10,000' swinging an axe. Got to hear all the heart attack and shoulda brought a lunch jokes.
My wife and I went when we were young and she saw this tree all the way across the valley we were in.We got flipped off by an old hippie gal in Dunton. Apparently a 20' tree is just showing off.
I hope you used a chainsaw. I'm a little worried that I might be the only guy here who has run one in the house.My wife and I went when we were young and she saw this tree all the way across the valley we were in.
When we got up there it was huge so we cut it down and then cut it to our size (we thought) and made christmas decorations out the of the bottom.
When we got it to the house i could not get it through the front door so I cut it down and then again and then again and then we just had a big puff of a tree in the front room that left no room for anyone to sit beside it. LOL
Every time we see Christmas Vacation and him cutting the tree indoors we just die laughing thinking of our tree cutting adventure.
Fake trees after that.......
Alergies? Spiders? Beavers?I'd never use a real tree even if it was dropped off at my doorstep.

Time, clean up, cost and safety.Alergies? Spiders? Beavers?
I only use a chainsaw in the house when the key breaks when trying to open a can of Spam. My wife says I need to control my temper.I hope you used a chainsaw. I'm a little worried that I might be the only guy here who has run one in the house.
Eh, we hit the local tree farm Thanksgiving weekend and each year one of the three kids picks the tree.
$80-100.00 for a tree....I’m over arguing with the wife about fake trees and cost savings!
“But it’s tradition” She says!
Traditionally draining my wallet!
I coulda went on a decent hunt for what we have spent on trees over the past 18 years!
I didn't see me. I saw my brother, his daughter and son-in-law and their 3 kids, my sister and her husband (working the cash register). I might have been across the street taking a break at Sportsman's Warehouse.
You can't put a price on fun.Time, clean up, cost and safety.
LOL! I have a 10 yr old boy that I consider a semi-pet!We found out the hard way one Christmas that you can't have a semi-pet raccoon and a Christmas tree in the house at the same time. Raccoons are obsessed with bright colors.
We did that once. Remembered guns and beer…..but forgot the sawI voted I cut mine every year but i hesitated because I’ve shot my fare share down with guns, just not to bring home for Xmas.
My back pays every year.That’s a beauty Clark! You cart a 12’ piñon into the house, your a lot tougher than me. I have a tough time wrestling with the 7-8’ piñons any more. I sure like them but they’re miserable heavy buggers to handle.
I voted I cut mine every year but i hesitated because I’ve shot my fare share down with guns, just not to bring home for Xmas.
I don’t. I did shoot my rifle plenty before my hunts this year, unfortunately only at 100 yards but the other lonely guns in the safe are neglected. Almost three years ago I built my first AR and have only put around 100 rounds through it.I'd Bet you Don't Waste Ammo Like That Anymore?
That’s a genius biz plan
Poaching trees is a serious issue around here. The pressure to have the biggest tree is intense. Soon there won’t be any big trees left.To crowded on the OTC Units, I am saving my points for a trophy unit.
When I draw I won't ask for any "Honey Holes" just some starting points.
After I harvest a Trophy I will never be heard from again.
