Best way to get a disc out of a tree?

[pacrat77j]

I've done a little searching on this and havent found much so I figured I would ask. My buddy has a disc in a tree that has been there for about 5 days now. It is pretty hidden, and each time we play past it, we spend about 10 minutes hurling everything we can find at it, but it is nesteled right above a heafty fork in a limb. There is no way to climb the tree (he fell once already trying) and its about 20 feet up. I tried shooting it with a BB gun this morning and they just came back at me with the same velocity they left with, which was kinda fun. Any suggestions?

Do you have a Fat Max Tape measure? If there are branches to stabilize I can get stuff out at 20 feet.

bring a long tent pole with you, 60% of the time it works all the time.

I voted baseball but have used my water bottle in the past(more than half full)

Redneckmachismo told me you should just cut the tree down. It should not have been there in the first place!

Do you have a picture of that thing? How does it work?

Paintball gun! Great range, shifts the disc way more then BBs while causing no damage, and the paint washes off with water. I got a disc that was almost impossibly stuck in tree out like this. It is also very fun.

Who wants to carry a paint ball gun around the course with them?

Marty carries a handgun.

Now you know not to mess with me on the course.

But seriously, I think he was asking for a disc that is very badly stuck and the normal rock/baseball/empty 40 won't work for. But I did wait until I was under my disc to put the gun together- walking through a park with a paintball gun might not be the best idea, especially considering (once again) the looks of many of us DGers.

I voted for rocks but that's probably not the best way.

Have you considered a football? If it's really wedged... the weight and point of a football along with a bigger leathery/rubbery surface to contact the disc might do the trick. A baseball has always worked for me fortunately, but I sometimes would rather have a football to move a whole branch or really shake the top of a tree.

Stick of PVC pipe. There always seems to be one or two laying around the courses we play. Cheap and you can just leave it leaning against the tree for the next victim.
