Kevin Lavanway here is Michigan does excellent work and is reasonably priced. I have a 362 he ported and had a 201 rear handle that was my favorite saw to use until it got stolen. I can give you contact info if you want. @davidwyby has a saw done by Kevin and I'm sure he can comment.
I'd assume that the choices for what to hunt with are limited to larger birds like female Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls, etc? That analysis makes sense. Plenty of easier meals to be had for the resident birds but bring in a team of hungry birds and make a big dent, then leave.

Yeah I feel frustrated by this too. I was under the impression that if I bought a Vertec, which I did a couple months ago, it would come with a revised friction body. It did not. And selling the more functional version of it for an additional $180 and then implying it is for those who are...
I started reading this thread because the F in Fall was capitalized so I thought it was about trees storing energy and how to help with that going in to Winter lol
We have tons of squirrels here in Detroit but this seems like a weird behavior. Does the university treat their trees with some kind of fertilizer or something that would attract the squirrels as a nutrient? We occasionally see this kind of damage but it is very isolated. Take some of those...
