The butt kicking up is a result of the tree rolling over the top of the slope. On the bigger trees there is 20 plus metres above the top of the slope, so no matter what felling cut you use the butt is going to kick out. Using the winch to hold the tree, allowing enough time for the feller to get out of the way seems to be the safest method.
