Chris, timber harvest recommendations all depend upon where you live, the timber species, climate, soil type and local timber harvesting practices. Horse logging will have the least impact on the residual stand, but is seldom worth the extra cost unless you have exceptionally valuable trees or a small acreage. Also to be considered is whether you are harvesting species that require open sunlight for regeneration ie. pine, aspen etc. Like others have stated here, you are well advised to consult with a state forester first. That should cost you nothing and he can provide you with a number of options based upon your goals and expectations. Just remember one thing, all timber harvest techniques look rough for the first few years, but mother nature will heal that and your wildife will adjust accordingly.

You can actually improve wildlide habitat for deer/ quail/ grouse, but may be a temporary setback for turkey/ squirrel.
