Rent a bucket truck, one like the tree trimming people use?

Subject: [TowerTalk] Getting a stuck wire antenna out of a tree
I have one element of my 80 M 4-square stuck in a tree and I can’t get it down
even with trying a variety of methods. I believe that the element is not
actually stuck but rather the 3/16” rope that it is attached to is caught in
the notch of a branch and the branch may have grown around it and trapped it
within.
I could try to pull it out with extreme force but I fear that the element would
break and then leave a dangling piece of wire of indeterminate length that
could couple to one of the elements and affect the pattern and/or tangle with
the replacement element.
Does any one have any ideas of what else I might try to get the element out
whole?
Tnx & 73
