Default [IBC] layering a wild tree

Im thinking about air layering rather than "digging up" a large field maple
in my back yard. Is there anything special about doing this for wild trees
vs trees established in containers? The tree is about a 15-20 foot tall
maple. trunk diameter maybe 2-3 inches. My plan is to chop it to a stump
sometime soon. Then in the spring... I'm guessing it will get a rush of
some new growth and after it hardens off i can layer it and remove it by
summer.

thanks
