Logging and it's effects

Call up Pine Bush Equipment, I'm sure they can refer you to a bunch of people.

Don't jsut call one....treat it like a coompetative bid. Outline everything you want done and the condidtion you want the area left in. Cover it all up front and go with the best pricing.........PS let them know you are looking at other ones too.

Should include specifics about what you want done with branches/trimmings & filling in/leveling of equipment ruts.

im really interested in getting my property logged, but i been searching and i can not find anyone in my area. the property is located in the middletown area. i want to create new trails and widen up old ones. im even thinking about clearing out and acre or so to put in a food plot. if anyone knows someone or has info on a few loggers i would really appreciate as much info as possible. more then one would be great would like to compare a few and see what they say. of course i would be doing this after the season. thanks once again

what your location? I have a good outfit here but thats here.

im in the middletown area im about 5 miles north of 17 west. when you say here where are you reffering to? thanks for the help.

Let me check with the timber company I lease from and see if they know any good ones in that area.

I have been in the woods cutting firewood and the deer walked right up to me when I was running the chainsaw. I also had a woods logged out during late gun season, did not make that much of a difference.Those tree tops make a great place to bed.You will not believe the new groth you get next spring.One thing I don't understand you stated he is cutting 30 trees that are 8 inches around. Does not even make sense money wise to cut trees that small. Sounds like a firewood company deal. That is the right size for fire wood, when split.

I am in Whitehall, it's about an hour north of Saratoga. It actually on the back side of Lake George.

I'm not really sure if those were just markers of some sort or what but the trees ribboned were only that size. I do the harvest is going to Canada which from what I understand is where ALL our hardwood (oak anyways) goes.

I have never seen a logger take trees 8 inches or less. Most want 12 inches and some 15 inches or bigger.

[20ftupatree]

I don't know all I do know is the trees that were marked with a piece of survey tape were roughly 8-10 inches, I didn't actually "see" all 30 tress or whatever but the ones I did see (10 or so) were that size idk. But anyways it's under way, they started building the landing saturday.
