[QUOTE="treefarmer, post: 4109548, member: 10041"] Huntaholic is correct, I am painting with a broad brush and as a member of the Tennessee Forestry Association don't mean to disparage loggers. I recommend you contact the Area Forester to help you learn about managing your forest and what your options are to achieve your goals and learn about your forest. Are there Beech or Sweetgum trees that need to go? Do you have some young forest that is big enough to cut but is growing well and need a few more years? Do you have some dry ridgetops that would be best in pine? You want to be able to tell a logger what work you want done. If you decide on selling some timber it will be difficult to attract loggers for a small sale so use any means to find a logger you can that will do what you want, including loggers recommended by others. If a sale isn't feasible, consider doing some of the work yourself with a chainsaw and herbicide. Every winter I go into our woods on weekends and get rid of weed trees to improve the forest. Cost share programs such as EQIP are available to pay for some of this work. Good forestry = good wildlife. [/QUOTE]
