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

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.
