Got The Call
Just received the call that 1 of the 2 owners I lease from is starting to cut timber. However, they are cutting their entire 650 acres, represents 65% of my lease and its not just a thinning, its a seed cut. Should be done by the end of archery season, which happens to be the best hunting on my lease. Of all the times to get started and finish, they had to pick now. I understand we will be seeing a ton of deer out in the cut over when fresh, but man moving and reinstalling all the stands is going to be a pain in the arse. Any ideas on the best way to work around these guys during archery, tips for hunting fresh cut overs with a bow. We will still have some swamps, cypress heads and low areas that will not be touched. I am just afraid if my guys all focus on trails leading out of these heads it will turn the deer nocturnal. We will still have +/- 350 acres of timber untouched also surrounded by swamp but I cant have 6 guys all focusing on this area either.

Re: Got The Call
I was on my lease 4 years. It takes about 3 years to get a good spot producing. They clear cut me and i left.
That lease the president was buddy buddy with the timber co. If you crossed them you would get clear cut.

Re: Got The Call
get off the clear cut and move 20-30 yrds into the heads....deer usually stage in those areas prior to moving in to feed. that's my bow strategy around any open feeding areas. from a distance try and pin point where the deer like to enter then set a plan.

Where I am, the timber seems to be on a 20y plan. Cut after 20+- yrs. After they single row it, you got 3-4 yrs left.
For a lease president to conspire with a timber company is almost as funny as Trump being a serious contender for President
