    Oak logs

    The .15 price was on that category of logs on that sale which included the red oak which by volume was 75% of that category. I termed it pallet but am pretty sure its destination was crane mats due to the lengths they bucked it to. There are a few subscription based publication s that give...

    Oak logs

    That is a fair price assuming there is enough volume to justify moving in and there isn't a lot of conditions or unreasonable rules. For some one to make any money they will have to go fast. Another way to interpret that is 180 per 1000 MBF is the same as .18 cents per board foot. I wouldn't...

    Oak logs

    That was for the whole tree, would have been worth more as firewood but that is an apples and oranges comparison it takes a huge amount of labor to convert standing timber ,which was the price give to firewood which is a product or commodity. One of the confusing parts of the timber business the...

    http://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php/topic,29848.0.html This is a link to almost the same topic on a popular forestry web site. On this last one we brought all the logs tree lenght to the landing site and received bids there. Some bids include the trucking some don't, I ask that all...

    Oak logs

    Red oak is definitely real bad one of the owners that I manage for wanted to cut some very mature red and white oaks, and a few other mixed species i.e.hickory, ash and even a few hack berry about 190 trees total. His goal was to thicken up these areas as they were wide open with no understory...

    Anyone done their own logging?

    The short answer is yes you could do this, a description of your equipment and experience would be more helpful. I taught my self how to cut doing TSI on no value trees. High value walnut is cut different then any other tree they are very prone to splitting and the better the tree the more they...

    Have you had your property logged?

    I would ask yourself what your goals for the property are and let that dictate the choices you make. Judging by your other posts the financial side is important to you as well as hunting. If this is the case then it is important to determine what your timeline is if this farm is a short...

    Iowa Outdoor Guide Busted

    Good deal this guy was caught and stopped. This is one reason to keep the nonresident tags where they are. If the non resident tag quota was increased there would be 10 more guys like this over night. I do some guiding and recognize the challenge and strain this can put on the resource . If Iowa...

    Binocular Opinions

    Also I would not consider anything larger than 10x42 for wearing around your neck and freehand glassing. I have a set of 15x56swaros and they are tripod only

    Binocular Opinions

    I am not sure what is needed for waterfowl as I don't do much of that but sounds like your needs are mostly close range 8x35 would work. Buy the best you can, I bought a pair of 10x 42 Swaros when I couldn't afford it but one of the best investments I ever made. They have been rebuilt 3 times at...

    Are WRP properties good investments?

    If you are talking about the WRP as in buying land that has been enrolled buy some one else and then you are buying the residual land it would have to be cheap. In most WRP situations I would think about 20-25 percent of the value unemcumbered by the covenants of the easement. Unless it is in...

    Savage 10ml Questions

    Mine shoots best with MMP sabots and 250 grain SST bullets with 39.5 grains of N110 One thing that is real important is to seat the sabot/bullet firmly to avoid air space which can lead to misfires.

    Corn Prices

    Many farms that are/were Crp farm don't have much for fence or infrastructure for cattle. It is unfortunate that land converted from crop back to pasture won't build crop history for future Crp. The amount being paid on new CRP contracts is roughly double what a reasonable cash rent is in...

    Kodiak fishing

    I just returned as well. Sounds like you hit it perfect with the salmon. We were near the town of Anchor Point near Homer did really well with Halibut but not any real big ones. There were some reds or sock eyes in the Russian and Kenia but those were mostly being dip netted which is resident...
