[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5829751, member: 17"] All depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Is this cut part of a long-term plan to maximize timber value? or is it a wildlife cut - intended to increase natural browse and cover? Or something in between? I point this out because most foresters only know long-term monetary forestry. They have no concept of wildlife habitat improvement. I make this point because if you want habitat value, but perform a monetary cut, you may be very disappointed, and the cut will prevent you from cutting again for a long number of years afterwards (15-20 years). First time i cut timber on my place, I used a local forester with a good reputation. However, he knew nothing about forest management for wildlife. To say I was disappointed with the results would be a severe understatement. Haven't used a forester since. Although I'm sure foresters have become a bit more educated on wildlife cuts since then.
