SORRY-ITS OFF TOPIC

Timbercruiser- you got that right, it is a sad site to see old St. Joe companysale off or develop all their prime hunting land.They actually own about 3,500 acres of our hunting club and own the land bordering our hunting club in Jefferson County. It is all posted withfor sale signs.
My grandfather actually bought 400 acres inMadison Countyfrom Rayonier in 1997 for 400 dollars an acre, and the most of the rest of Rayonier holdings in the area was sold off to other timberland companies in our area.I hate to say it but the future is grim for the vast timber acreage in ALL of FLorida. The only way it can be saved if the land cannot be cost-feasible to develop (floodzones,location, etc), that and the location of the pulp mill will be the only ways to save the doghunting tracts of land around Perry.

But a company is in business to make the most profit possible, even if it means transforming in from one business to another. They could care less about thetiny $ amount they get fromhunting leases, developed land is the hot commodity.The timber is near worthlesscomparedto the land, when before the 'land boom' it was the opposite.
