Timber cutting - would you be mad?

Last year when I leased my 40 acre MS place to a hunter, I told him it would be time to thin soon and ask ed if he wanted me to wait til after deer season. Of course he wanted me to wait, so I signed with a forester in March.
Well, this friday, the forester said he is mobilizing his equipent in the next two weeks.
How pissed would you be if timber was being cut on opening day, and one of your food plots was a log landing?
ETA - I didn't tell the hunter yet, maybe tomorrow.

On 40 acres, it would be really sucky. Give him a refund check and maybe try to help find him a spot to hunt.

I'd be pretty damn pissed. Especially on 40 acres, there's no place to get away from it. That's pretty shitty, in my opinion.

I'm confused. If you scheduled it for March, why are they doing it now?

I killed a buck yesterday while sitting on a pile of logs. Loggers knocked off around 1:00 yesterday, killed him at 4:00 eating whiteoak acorns off a top they had cut that morning. It sucks listening to clanging and banging all day, but it doesn't bother deer like everyone here thinks every single deer season. It's an inconvenience to move stands, park in different areas, deal with the traffic, etc, but one I gladly accept.

I'd be looking for a refund check if I were the hunter

If you want to know where there are deer, ask a logger. They see them all the time while cutting. It might mess him up while they are there but the minute they are gone game on. I have seen deer while watching treetops fall.

They won't be cutting long. If offer some money back for inconvenience and let him finish the season or offer a full refund

Happened to us 2 years ago but we had a lot more acreage. Won't be in there too long though. Get the forester to dress up the food plot - they trashed some of ours and left deep ruts etc.

The lease on 40 acres can't be much, can it? I'd talk to the guy, and if he's upset, give him a refund.

40 acres? shite that's small
Posted on 11/9/14 at 2:53 pm to dat yat
Offer him a full refund, and then I'll lease it after they get done logging. It's a win-win

Very serious question, how much $$ is there to be had by thinning a 40 acre piece of property?

You would have a forest fire before the loggers moved in..
But seriously, it sounds like your planning on being reasonable about it, he should understand,

Most lease agreements are written in favor of the landowner and allow for things like timber harvesting operations to take place without reimbursement to the hunter. Timber Sale Agreements typically have a term of 1-2 years, with the buyer having the flexibility to harvest the timber anytime within that time frame, including deer season. Anybody that leases timberland for hunting should be prepared for the possibility of having the property they lease harvested during hunting season, especially if it is on good ground and has good access.
