I am replacing some old 5/4X8" pine deck boards which are nailed to
2X6's. I'd like your favorite methods for doing this, as the time
consumed will be largely the removal of the old boards, not the
replacement of the new ones.
Looking forward to your ideas!
Thank you very much for your help!

Cut them with a circular saw parallel to the joists (about 2" away).
You should then be able to pull them up easily by hand. I do this
between every joist, it is a few minutes of cutting that makes pulling
them up much easier/quicker.

I like old lumber, so I'd go for a nail puller. I have a punch for
those that won't pull.

If the lumber was really not worth saving-- or if I was in a hurry-
I'd use my reciprocating saw to cut them all off just to the left of
each 2x6 and pull them by hand. [I'm left handed-- maybe the right
side works better for some folks.]
