Loggers have built a nice rep for themselves, hard to find an honest outfit, that does some bare minimum clean up, same story everywhere you go.
My father let em in here, needed the cash for taxes, rape the land so you can keep it is the philosophy. They thinned 12 acres, mature maple, veneer grade logs. Same thing, made a nice mess, damaged other standing trees, that have a ways to go for maturity and went over the line, I caught em. They wanted to go even further, seems once they get into a place, its a perfect opportunity to steal. I don't care if anyone is insulted as per my comments, its rare to see these outfits do a reasonable job, to harvest and bare minimum clean up, I'm not talking road building or spending days after the logs are out either. I'm very effective on a dozer, I know what it takes to clean up, not much. Anytime you have something logged, you have to be there, if an adjacent landowner has it done, be there, woods need to be inventoried and board footage calculated before 1 tree is dropped, mark those to be cut and those to be left or at least mark those to be cut. Given what you are dealing with an owner has to be proactive right up front or you will likely get the above and then some. In addition to them eyballing others timber.
PS, I had someone steal a tall 3'-0" black cherry out of those woods prior to them showing up, so many people are dishonest, now they wonder why its posted, patrolled and what have you. Nice chunk of change they stole, will come back to em in the end anyway so, if you don't get compensation, they can live with being a thief.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
