Well, not much ever does work like the movies, but having watched a landscaping crew or two take down stands of small trees, it seemed feasible. Was your elk skinned?
Nope, I needed it to be quartered to get it out of the woods. I swear when it was all done and said I could have used a sharp knife faster. though. I thought it would just go through like butter, but it kind of bounced off of the meat, and you really had to fight to get it to go through. I cut wood all the time, I could have cut a 24” tree 10 times over in the same amount of time to get through one leg of the thing.
