After a bit of calling around, I was able to find a private consulting forester and his services are $250/day. After the initial shock of hearing that, I got some info from him and he told me to call the VA Dept. of Forestry and get as much free info as possible. I know that I'll eventually need a private forester to handle the bidding contracts and other stuff so that I don't get scammed by the logging company.

I guess for about $6/acre, the VDOF will write me up a management plan. The one thing that I'm finding out is that this is a slow process because the VDOF forester that covers my area is away for 2 weeks fighting a wildfire in WA state. I realize that patience is important and that clearcutting the land will benefit the deer when the new growth appears.
