The "fantail" or "partridge tail" felling method was used. In this method, when the stems are pulled by the winch, the "tail" folds up like a fan, which minimizes injuries to the remaining trees. To do this, the cutter must locate a straight path through the remaining trees approximately one metre in width, at a 35 to 45° angle to the skidding trail. 1, record 1, English, - %5C%22fantail%5C%22%20felling%20method

L'abattage en forme de «Queue de perdrix» est la méthode à préconiser. En effet, dès que le treuil tire, la queue se referme ce qui permet de diminuer les blessures aux arbres résiduels. [...] L'abatteur doit localiser un layon (petit sentier) d'environ 1 mètre de large, bien droit, afin de permettre le débusquage des tiges vers le sentier dans un angle de 35° à 45° par rapport à celui-ci. 1, record 1, French, - martelage%20en%20forme%20de%20%C2%ABqueue%20de%20perdrix%C2%BB
