I' m a member of a sportman' s club here in WV that currently leases 2000 acres in Nicholas County. Went up to the club yesterday (Saturday) for the last day of bow season , and saw a small armada of lumber company vehicles being brought onto the property. (A couple of dozers, logging trucks, etc.

Seems that even though the tentative plans where for the company to do no cutting til the first of the year... they' ve decided to clearcut 45 acres on the property starting tuesday morning.

Needless to say, we' re pissed... but it' s there property... so we' re kindof out of luck. We' ve spoke to the folks involved and told them of the three members who have there stands/feeders setup on those 45acres and are making arrangements to get things moved by tuesday. BTW Rifle season opens Monday AM.

Any thoughts as to whether this will totally nuke hunting on the property? My guess is that it should keep the deer moving... but not sure what other effects the operation will have. One good thing is that they will be operating/driving on a side road of the property... and only hauling the lumber out thru the main ' Camp" ... not thru the main hunting areas.

Thanks for any input or thoughts you may have.
