It's a timber company called Rayonier. They do not care about hunters and are in it for the business. They will not tell us when they will start cutting. Usually they cut spring and summer and it usually isn't nearly as much cutting. The guy who runs the club was notified by the company with the map I posted. We have no control of what they do. It would have been nice if they already knew they were going to chop that much before the lease renewed. I think they will start cutting after the holiday, I'm not sure where they will start. They won't tell us anything. Last year they only had a couple machines. I guess it depends on how fast they want to harvest. The club is pretty easily to access and they could have multiple crews going at a time if they wanted. Usually they stop cutting just before the season starts. I know clear cuts are good but just that much is a little ridiculous. The only information I got is that pine and pulp is in high demand and that's why they are clearing this much.
