[QUOTE="scrimshaw, post: 1380557, member: 7133"] Thanks guys... The middle 50 acres of the property has really old growth for which I am fortunate. I have black, red and white oaks some three feet + diameter. I also have tulip poplars the same size. I am considering starting with having the poplars harvested as well as some 50 year old pines (shortleaf) which are no wildlife value. I wasn't aware of maple being of great value, as I do have some large ones of those as well, but with all my oaks I am considering leaving those and taking the maples. I need to have a forester come out and take a look. I also am planning on taking some oaks as some are 4 feet close when they should be, according to my research, 30 feet apart for ideal acorn production. My main goal is to get sunlight to the ground to encourage more dense undergrowth as right now, other than the acorns there's not good cover for the deer to use the timber. [/QUOTE]
