Bryant, I would bet that old Ed Ball has turned over in his grave with the results of what happened to his St. Joe Timber Company after he died. He thought the will was set up so that what happened would never happen. The dog hunters that have the luxury of hunting places like Eglin AFB, the vast timber land holdings around Perry and other places in the south will probably be able to dog hunt for a few more years. The days of timber companies holding vast tracts of timberland is quickly coming to an end inmany areas. It is too expensive to pay land taxes, plant, and manage timberland for 30 or so years for a crop of pine timber to be harvested. One fire, hurricane, disease, insectinfestation or other loss and you lose everything for a long time. Most pine stands do well to average a $70 per year return over the 30 or so year harvest life of a stand. Rayonier is one of the last ones in our area, and they have started selling off their south Bama land. Plum Creek doesn't allow dog hunting on their property.
