A big one

Couldn't find a legal bull elk, but ran across this. My Grandpa says the area was logged in 1940. See the springboard notches? Anyone know if chainsaws were prevalent in WA state in 1940?

I think you could have built a hotel with what that tree would have provided.

Greetings,
There were gas chainsaws back then. My great uncles were loggers in Pacific County at the time. They used 2 man saws, and had a "stinger", a handle at the end of the bar....
Where was this pic taken?

I saw somewhere that those trees were very hard down lower. That's why they were cut so high. Those boys would cut one down, camp there, and cut it up.

That is B&C for sure!

Small world. This was taken in neighboring Wahkiakum county.
