The thing that sucks is they are taking too much with this cut. There are limits for a good forest management system but they are chopping the hell out of the best hunting spot on the property.I guess I will just have to wait and see what it ends up like. Thankfully there is still another 60 acres that has been cut but 2 years agoso it is starting to get good in there. The stuff that is getting cut is where I found all of my sign last year and where the big guys have been seen. The other key piece of property was sold to the neighbor a couple of years ago. That piece has some of the stream going through, a great tag alder swamp and the rest is hemlock and cedar swamp with major trails crossing through it. Unfortunately the neighbor lets someone else hunt it so I cannot and he shot a decent 8 off it last year.

I am definately not complaining just interested in what others do in this situation. Yes most of it needs to be cut for proper management, it is an old forest and a lot is falling down, but not all needs to go. I hope what they are telling me and what the loggers do are a little different. What I see done so far has been pretty much chopped up. We will see. I know the hunting will get better in the next couple of years, it is just hard to wait!!!

Thanks for the replies so far, I am anxious to use a ground blind for the first time and it seems as though that time has come.
