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.

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