and he may see something you wont.i'm starting to cut 50 acres across from my house owned by the mill.they wanted me to cut all the ash but when they marked the lines,the forester has found something is killin the white oak there also so they want everyone of them cut also.i noticed some dead when hunting but forester says not a healthy one on the hill.big and plentiful so it'd been a large loss for them if not cut.

I have had logging done on my place twice so far and the third time isn't that far off. I wanted my property managed for deer and grouse habitat so the cuttings have been small clear cuts to promote a diversity of age class timber. It has worked great and I have NO regrets at all. I got a few extra bucks but most of the timber stumpage was used for heavy equipment work and clearing food plots and trails. Any fruit tree or tree that produced a mast crop like oak was left. Those seed trees have really helped promote growth of new oaks and apples for the critters. Some small areas of low dollar timber were simply slashed and left for bedding areas. To me logging has far more benefits than it does drawbacks.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Foresters are just as coruptible as loggers. After all the whole premise for their existance is that all loggers are thieves.,but they need loggers to harvest the timber they sell or nobody makes money . Just remember a forester needs relation ship with loggers he can work with .more than he needs a single landowner that he might deal with every ten to twenty years .there are good foresters and good loggers educate yourself and talk to as many people as you can you got that right , around here the are getting paid under the table from big mills not to submit bids and such . people around here finally saw this after a old lady got the screws after a big bid deal , supposed to have been advertised but wasint ,sawmill got some cheap timber and the forester made a bundle.

In all honesty to the original poster ,none of use are there and we cant see your timber so it would be hard to tell you the correct thing to do. . . Very true,however the price he quoted I could get twice that just selling it as firewood in my area.
the wheels of the gods turn very slowly
