Big Tree Hunters

Some folks hunt deer, some hunt for exotic mushrooms, still others hunt for huge trees!
Some of the largest trees that tree hunters have found include the 275 foot sequoia known as General Sherman. This tree's trunk is over 30 feet across at its base! Robert Van Pelt is a hardcore tree hunter  who has traveled all across the U.S., Canada and Australia seeking big trees.
