[TowerTalk] Getting a stuck wire antenna out of a tree

[jeff griffin]

He lives in CT, near a large town, being CT I don't think shooting it down is an option. When I had some acreage to put wire antennas up I would put a pulley up with a rope. I would then lower it to put the antenna rope through it. If the tree grew around the rope holding the pulley so what, you still could get the rope holding the antenna down.

If you live in the country you might try a shotgun to sever the line.  I used that method to trim webworms from tall trees at my father-in-laws farm.  Cheap, easy, albeit a little noisy.

## I have a 8-32 x 56mm  rifle scope..and also a 10-50 x 60mm  rifle scope that would probably do the job.. provided no wind. 
It would be cheap entertainment. 

##  Installing a pulley up there requires somebody to 1st climb the tree in question.  I assume he just shot a line over a branch, and now its jammed up tight.
