I have 70 acres in northern Decatur County that I live and hunt on. About 63 of it is hardwoods. It was select cut 14 years ago just before I bought it. I'm going to be talking to some loggers about maybe select cutting again. The original roads created for the first cut are still on the property and I use them and keep them clear. I'm not a tree expert but I do recognize oaks, hickory and other species. This will be an educational experience for me. I do about 6 acres of food plots each year but I'm looking to open up the canopy and produce better browse throughout. I may be able to talk my neighbor who got the other 66 acres of the original farm (and was select cut 14 years ago as well) into it also.
Is 14 years long enough to select cut it again? When I talk to potential loggers, what questions should I ask? What red flags should I be looking for? Thanks.
