[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5122512, member: 20151"] I am no forester but was raised on a diet of farm and timber. Oaks were actually considered for the grazing of cattle and hogs when the acorns were dropping, especially in drought years. When we cut timber it was strictly for profit or lumber to build with and preservation for future harvests was heavily considered. To this day when I advise or oversee a timber stand I plan cuttings with profit and preservation of future harvests being my #1 factor and wildlife being secondary or the passive beneficiary. On a recent pine cut I was admonished for that approach and put on a path of wildlife benefits are primary with revenue being incidental! There is a significant difference in approach and results and they are contrary to one another! [/QUOTE]
