    Final Day of the Project

    I estimate that they've cut down 150-175 mature soft maples. I am very satisfied with their work and their carefulness when their working. Very cautious, but have the get it done attitude. Took roughly 4ish total days. Everything's on piles now and ready to get hauled. Also appreciated them...

    Day 2 Mission: Making City Park woods into Bedding area

    Yes those deer will absolutely flock to that area, if you cut those silver maples hard. Instant regen starting in the spring. My land is low lying and I had a lot of deer bedding there before the logging. (I did some mild cutting myself before hand) and they loved it. Now it's going to regen way...

    Farm Improvement

    Along with the logging project and replanting some swamp white oaks in areas of the cut. I have a 5 acre area on the west side of my bottom ground that is currently enrolled in CRP. It's kind of a buffer strip between the Ag fields and the timber. Currently the CRP isn't doing me much good...

    Day 2 Mission: Making City Park woods into Bedding area

    I've kind of been supervising this project, and I kind of wanted to avoid clear cutting huge areas, I have some pretty big holes already. The loggers wanted to cut harder,(maybe I should let them cut harder)I just hate to have it barron) I'd like to be able to cut again in 10-15 years. The areas...

    First Day of Logging project in the books

    Skip I should have stated, in the photos, we haven't logged that area yet. We just moved there before they quit, so there will be considerably more trees harvested in this area tommorow. I have so many big ones, when we take them out it almost looks a little barren. I'm looking forward to next...

    A decent deer trail.

    The way that looks, I'm not sure you need to set anything up. Looks like you could sit in the truck(with the heat on) on the bridge. And it would be an ideal stand location.

    First Day of Logging project in the books

    My first impression is, Wow. The woods sure looks empty in areas when you take a bunch of giant old maples out. The one area they cut they doubled the bedding area size of an already existing bedding area that I already did some cutting on my own. It's very clear I should have let these guys do...

    360° trail cams

    I have a pair of 360 revolvers, Food Plots are the best locations, or where a bunch of trails cross. I like mine. Their a little more expensive per month than the reveals. But other than that, their good.

    The neighbors farms for sale......

    Tillable land prices here have definitely come off the highs, I'd say 10% at least depending on the piece, now the neighbor puts a land for sale sign on a 194acres 175 tillable. It doesn't border me but it's pretty close to home..... He's only asking about 30% more than a recent land auction...

    Logging Project coming up

    I asked that question as well. The loggers I'm dealing with have their own mill. So I guess there's a quality of Pallet wood that they have to haul a long ways. Idk. I'm not a logger. Just a land owner looking to improve my property by taking out the Canopy.

    Logging Project coming up

    I priced around between loggers a year ago. But I've heard murmurs of mills being short on logs. So has anyone gotten any prices on Silver Maples per 1000 board feet? If so what are you seeing for prices. I got a Grade A Grade B and Pallet Wood and a Long Haul Pallet wood price. I have...
