Yep, people who will happily send them to die, or murder them for convenience.
I saw 5, maybe 6 of them when they were in alignment last year.Went out to the Refuge west of Lawton with my rifle and used my Ziess scope. Even at lowest power I couldnt get them all in at once so I switched to bino's. Really impressive.
They’re called spring boards and they axe cut the slots for them..

Thank you. Gotta be GOOD with a good axe to cut a slot like that I bet.

Another good question to ask
“Which side of the Korean DMZ has its lights turned on at night?”
THats pretty wild, I cut some 6' diameter Douglas Fir and Yellow pine in Montana but nothing like the Redwoods or Sequoia's. Any idea why they cut them so high, seems like it wastes a lot of board feet of prime lumber. Pulling that big saw would put a set of shoulders on you.
Good way to draw back a nub !
When they cut this one they did it 50' up the trunk.
3,000 year old tree. Was cut down as a 100 year celebration of the country.

Also note that MLK is giving a Seig Heil… but I thought everyone said he was a Communist?? Who knew?

Amazing !!
I ran the Avenue of the Giants Marathon a few years ago. Never had as many “Wows and Damns” in my life. Stayed at Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Blown away by the beauty and size of the trees. Running Big Sur was equally as cool , just a total different vibe.
If Cali wasn’t so effed up , I’d move there in a minute.
Never been out there but is on my bucket list to see one day.Amazing !!

2nd from the left seems to be trying to ignore the Orca.
I remember many moons ago watching, on TV, a female trainer getting attacked & drug by an Orca.
The piece below is from advocates for the Orca, still contains plenty of Tilikum facts.

FAFO in the making.

I had a friend that lived in a small town named Gualala right on the coast N of San Francisco. Only place not on a hill was their little air strip. I got to run across the Golden Gate Bridge both ways , kinda cool 
Once you get north of there , it gets really beautiful. I will go back someday.

At least he wasn't holding up traffic. Well, at least until his "accident ".

I’ve read about multiple reasons. No personal experience here..
Grain compression and resin buildup making cutting more difficult, but this one makes the most sense to me…. They would cut above the flare at ground level so the log would be mill ready and not require any additional trimming to process it.
One of my buddies is a retired State Trooper... and he's like "I used to give them tickets all the time. If you're in the road, you have exactly the same requirements to follow the law."
He was a Commie and Socialist and a woman abuser and an all around sexual degenerate.
Reasonable. I never ran nto any resin build up that affected my cutting but I never cut Redwoods. I can see the idea about flare, but the phot in question doesnt seem to have that. There's a Face book site that shows a lot of timber falling, I'll ask there.
I've been to the Humbolt park as well, absolutely stunning.Amazing !!

RIP To an American legend in the shooting community.
I'm with you, if Cali werent so fucked up politically I'd live there. The most geographically diverse and beautiful state in our nation.I had a friend that lived in a small town named Gualala right on the coast N of San Francisco.

Boots, belt, hatband and an expensive purse right there. Plus gator bites, Gator steaks and gator jerky... right on the hoof!

On the subject of lizard jokes...
And I know... they're amphibians... Just pre-empting some herpetologist wanna-be before I get corrected...

THis guy is a Virginia congressman or senator, a former Green Beret. He's got a lot of good videos on Youtube. Child predator? Clickboom
That's correct. Cut above what they called the pistol butt because it didn't make dimensional lumber and also interfered with skidding and hauling. A more modern reason it's done is to get above the level where metal intrusion, such as old fence, is likely.
