Congrats on a couple nice Birds!!
Curious...Do they clear cut everything when they log? The only logging done in the area I hunt usually is to turn timber ground into a field or more pasture ground.


Timber companies own most of the land they lease it out. They will scalp it and comeback and replant it in pine. They do not control burn so it is one huge briar thicket after a few years. Great for deer but sucks for turkey. It's hard going from 1300 acres of mature hardwood to a desolate landscape. I hate loggers.
Congrats on the good opening week.

That's tough on the cutting, I'm not sure I could get used to spending a bunch of money to have no say about the land management.. when I get hosed I like it to be free

We are running out of ideal habitat in Mississippi.

Jefferson and Franklin. They left the hardwoods along the creeks because they couldn't get them. Nothing last forever so I will enjoy it while I can. 2 of us on 1300 acres is still pretty good.

Great story and congrats on the birds! Looking forward to the pics.

Congrats on two birds. I feel your pain, our club went from 2200 acres to all the land being sold. During the process of about three years the timber company thinned and clear cut all of it, making turkey hunting very frustrating in the end.

congrats on your birds
I know the feeling of dealing with loggers,4 years ago they came in and cut 85% of our hardwoods, some birds still there, but trying to hunt them has been very hard
it's not the harvest,it's the chase
