selective harvesting of timber, tends to mean, ONLY logging what the land owner wants logged and NOT clear cutting , as in cutting all timber of size!

most land owners today know the difference in timber , in both whats better for the land to be left and what is of higher value, and what is junk,
and then to timber based on what there goal is,for the future of the property as well as what financial gains they wish to get NOW as to later
most timber with a plan of another timber down the road, so they prefer to not clear cut and do selective harvesting of timber on there lands!

ALSO< most timber crews know that folks RIFLE HUNT< opening day and tend to stay out of woods , for there own safety, but its not a 100% deal, some HAVE to work when weather allows
so be safe, and maybe talk to land owner and see what his wishes are ion you being there if they are timbering

its also NOT a bad idea to meet the timber guys, buy em lunch or likes and, well, they have the BIG tools there on site to help make future hunting spots better, like where they place tops, cut roads, open lanes, and can even make small food plot area's for you, most all loggers I worked with, all were pretty easy going and helpful for me, but then again, I was also managing a lot of the lands they were on, so they tried to stay on my good side , as I was always watching and reporting to land owners as requested!
but I never busted any one them's ball's about things, honestly they were all pretty good to deal with, even left a few tree's marked for cutting due to I had stands near and asked if they would leave due to how they worked for cover for me? this isn't always easy top get them to do as tree's are MONEY to them, so, everyone they leave costs them $$, but again, I have asked and so far never been told NO, but also don ;t ask too often either!
