Big tree thread

My brother and I stumbled onto this hollowed out shell one year. I camped inside it the next.

A very large, very old alligator juniper in SW NM. 70" DBH makes it #2 for the species.

Here's a good size Ponderosa pine I came across today while out taking my muzzleloader for a hike.

Kids keep yer noses clean. You never know who’s going to document you if you get yourself in a compromised position.

Got in an area with a number of big old western larch yesterday. All the tops were gone for years, but they were all still alive.

This is the biggest plains cottonwood I have seen. 8 foot in diameter.

We are fortunate enough to own some
land with some big oaks that managed to avoid the chainsaw.

Nice old growth in the PNW, probably about 60% of the size of the biggest one I have seen up there

This is a really cool thread. Waiting to see a few monster Sitka Spruce pics. I wish I had taken some of the big ones encountered in my travels.

I read an article in the newspaper several years back talking about the discovery of the nations largest oak tree. The landscape looked super familiar, but the exact location was a big secret that wasn’t made public. I spent spare time over the course of several years looking for that oak tree on long and exhausting hikes. I also spent countless hours on google earth measuring tree canopies (seriously). I finally found a tree on google earth that was in a remote canyon, with extreme terrain, and over a 100’ canopy. I marked it with my GPS and spent a day hiking to it. When I arrived to the mystery tree it was indeed the same from the newspaper article!!! What are the odds? I located the “champion oak” using similar techniques we all use for e scouting our hunts. I thought it was pretty cool, although most my friends aren’t too impressed hahah

I saw some dandies out of Rowan Bay when I worked out there.

I grew up in Redwood country, Humboldt county. I remember logging trucks with pup trailers, the logs were halved horizontally to fit on the trucks. Not so much these days.
