@TrueBloodNet I'll be taking down maybe 20 this year. Been going on for quite awhile. Try to leave snags and some dead ones where safe. Heartbreaking, but I will look at it as an opportunity to start again. I won't live long enough to see the results.
@TrueBloodNet I had to look up Tungska. Wow, yes!
@gemswinc Where possible I take my own down. But the dead pine is leaning towards my shed. It will require someone to climb it, cut and drop it in sections. The last one, was 4' from my door... so I didn't risk it. LOL The big ash got hit by lightning so that mostly came down by itself. The giant 'survived Dutch Elm' tree was so big it took 2 folks holding hands to surround it. Being right by the road I could not risk it taking out everyone's electric. That was almost $3K...
