Good fix. :thumbup:

The bullbuck is the boss of the falling crew. He does the hiring and firing, assigns the strips, might occasionally check a faller's scale if they're busheling, makes sure the log lengths are in spec for whatever the mill wants, and just generally keeps an eye on things. On a small show he...

That video of the speed freak faller is posted on AS in the Forestry and Logging threads. Some of the comments are hilarious. That kid is a bullbuck's nightmare.
