How do you get to that forty foot leader? Do you deface the whole tree to get that chunk out? Do you have your spurs sent up to you? What exactly is the method to your madness?If your client cant see the gaff marks or doesnt know of the disease that can spread from tree to tree from their use,does that make it okay to use them? Only a true dinosoar uses gaffs in trim work.
