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?

Would offering a couple geust hunts in Arkansas make up for it until cutting settles down. The dude is a nice guy, a good hunter and passes on scrub bucks.

YOU should be the one asking questions. Unless you are cool with them busting into your property at their own discretion and cutting timber 5-6 months before you originally authorized.

They should be able to cut 40 acres and be gone in a week, the deer will not care much.

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 think the Desoto NF folks fotted around instead of giving him the road permit right away. Also, 40 acres is small and he waited til he had idle equipment between larger jobs.
The contract gave him a 12 month window to cut, I think that is normal procedure.

All you can do is be open and communicate with him. It isn't what your intent was, he may be temp miffed.....he may understand the timber industry and just shrug it off. If he has other spots to hunt he prob will not care too much

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
Posted on 11/9/14 at 12:14 pm to dat yat
You really should refund the money for this year...

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.

Loggers like to cut in the fall or summer when it's dryer. March might be too wet. Also, depending on the contract, once you sell the timber to a company, they can cut it at their convenience. Some contracts actually have a specified timeframe for the cutting to commence, or the logger loses the rights to the trees.

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

The dozen operator hooked us up when they clear cut. Made several food plots with funnels

Offer him a full refund, and then I'll lease it after they get done logging. It's a win-win
