RE: Logging question
deer/turkey/quail/rabbits ... they all love clear cuts/selective timber harvested areas. Assuming you leave mast producing trees. Squirrels will suffer a bit if you cut a lot of the timber down.
I have 80 acres and am going to have the timber cut in the next few weeks. Money is the motivating factor, but I' m having them leave all the white oaks. They' ll selectively cut the red oak and pines. I think it' ll help, not hurt my hunting on my place.
