Notice his methodical style when he makes his notches, also known as cuts, in order to make the tree fall in a certain direction.  It takes years of practice and expertise in order to fell a tree the way Ranger Malloy does it.  His technique is unsurpassed.  In addition to being able to run a saw, he is an authority when it comes to the natural landscape at Antietam.  Any question regarding flora or fauna, he has an answer to it.<\/p>\n<p><object><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Above we have Ranger Malloy, Bucking a fallen tree.  He is basically cutting it up into smaller pieces so the other rangers can put them into piles to be burned later on during the winter months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_pE_wYioBYHs\/TFC7BBi-OOI\/AAAAAAAAACA\/NLK4fZCUDtQ\/s1600\/Alex+Tree.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px;text-align: center;cursor: pointer;width: 320px;height: 180px\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_pE_wYioBYHs\/TFC7BBi-OOI\/AAAAAAAAACA\/NLK4fZCUDtQ\/s320\/Alex+Tree.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499100771288758498\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Now that trees have been felled and bucked, I can start transporting them to the wood piles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_pE_wYioBYHs\/TFC7WZsHolI\/AAAAAAAAACI\/51oGxD1jSik\/s1600\/Cow+Skull.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px;text-align: center;cursor: pointer;width: 320px;height: 180px\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_pE_wYioBYHs\/TFC7WZsHolI\/AAAAAAAAACI\/51oGxD1jSik\/s320\/Cow+Skull.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499101138546827858\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>We came across a skull amidst all the brush.
