It's the bane of the busheler. When you get paid for how much you produce (board feet) your mindset is a whole lot different than getting paid by the hour or day wage.
The busheler mindset can bring out the absolute worst in some people. That's why policies are set to limit fallers to cutting only marked trees. But even so sometimes you just got to cut an unmarked tree out the way. Or get killed trying work around it.
On the other hand. If you are familiar with the forester, and in good standing with them, they'll give you cart-blanch to cut the trees as you feel. But it takes a long time to gain that kind of trust.
