Each individual tract is owned by a different person in the same family. The company I spoke of in the first post is the company hired by the landowners to do the burning and replanting. The landowners are brothers and sisters who basically despise each other. I' m suprised they discussed planting the land in pines. Normally they wouldn' t have anything to do with each other.

As far as the hunting season this year, there' s not much chance of salvaging anything there. I would be overlooking about 70 to 80 acres of 8 inch tall pines. The deer aren' t just gonna wander out in the middle of it. The cutovers had just become a bedding area and the deer traveled through them constantly. The thing that bothers me the most is now I won' t have anywhere to take my 8 year old son. I killed 2 deer last year while he was with me and we were expecting it to be even better this year.

Well, I' d better get off of here for now. The boss is due in any time.
