Bullseye!

An old elm fell over on my fence. Impaled on the fence post! What are the odds?

I got most of it cleaned up, but this piece is stuck quite well to the post. Not sure how I'll get it off.

Wedge and maul to try and split it around the post. Probably be slow going since the post will shake

Definitely a direct hit..

Nice shot.

I had a big hickory fall a few years ago, impaling a corner survey marker. I thought the neighbor moved the pin, nope the tree hammered it into the ground.

Press the tractor bucket up against one side and drive a wedge into the other side.
Or stand in the bucket and use an axe to split the wood at your feet... Should be pretty easy as it has to be punky for the post to go through it like that.

I’d leave it. Might make for some good stories.

It's earned that spot!

What are the odds? Figure the tree has to hit near the center of the tree. Figure the width between posts. Divide the two and that will give you the odds. Just a rough figure 50-50.

If it bothers you, pull the post and split the round with a maul.

I would just use my power tool 20V small circular saw. A few passes, and it would be off. No need to pound nor hammer any more to the post or ruin the fence mesh.

What are the odds? ONE! The evidence is right in front of you!
