Vinny, it's funny how many people don't know what real misletoe looks like or grows. Think its a Williamstown thing lol:D
We usually shoot it out as well, but 3 years ago there was a clump growing right off side of road on Winlsow, used a truck, ladder and pole saw....got it done:thup:
If you get lucky can use a climber on a tree next to and then pole saw, the gum trees it grows on are usually to big for a climber..
You want to talk about crazy looks from cars passing.

first you need a good pair of binoculars. you need to find out weather its male or female. male has the small white berries, thats what you want.. then a good set of climbers ,rope, guts, and pole saw. you want to lower it down gently so you dont break it up. I used to sell mistletoe. alot of work but i made some cash. shooting it down just breaks it up.
