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.

Agree. We moved loggers around seasonally in certain areas

My lease with the hunter had this clause because I pulled the lease template off a timber company website.

My Arkansas club's lease with Plum Creek also allows them to cut and they did a thinning right before deer season last year. I moved my tripod to the thinning then and shot an 8 pt from that tripod yesterday morning. That said, I did not enjoy the view from that particular stand last year and only hunted it once.

The hunter pays me $800 and legally I don't have to do anything; but I feel for him since it will affect 90% of the property. I'm planning to call him tonight and offer him a couple hundred for his trouble. He still gets the shack and access to the whole Desoto National Forest.
