Well I've been protecting this tree from the ravages of beastly squirrels, then low and behold God thought it was a 2 Iron and decided to prove someone could actually hit it. The tree was at least 150ft tall, took three guys to get arms around it and it was 30 ft from my well. Fortunately no damage other than the tree loss. I have dropped quite a few squirrels from it. When they took it down, the massive trunk fell in halves, split through by the lightening blast. The bark blasted off 360 degrees and 30 ft up leaving an absolutely slick clean surface. Might have to carve a stock out of that sucker.
