3' for ax handle. Babe would've been 126-127 feet between the horns. Paul's watch took three days to reassemble by Ole, a tall blacksmith. A family of bears mistook his beard for a jungle. Either his ax or a pickaxe dug the grand canyon, he put a head cook (not sure if it was Hot Buiscuit Slim or Sourdough Sam) on his knee to talk, had to stay in a large cave during foggy days else he'd kill a man by stepping on him, his ax head was 15 feet tall, in order to cut down trees sometimes he'd take the Chore Boy and put him at the other end of the saw yet the chore boy would have his feet dragged(chore boy threw a grindstone across a state), sit on 50-55 stumps...I'd say from that I've gathered from him 150-300 feet.
