The forest service made it a payment unit,they marked the trees along with the ones that are blown down they wanted cut in that area,and apparently it was more than I thought. Last year nothing had been cut when I went hunted up there,this year its gone all they left were a few seed trees. The only good thing about it now is you can set up and have a good rifle spot early in the year. I walked it over and the deer is still crossing it but I'm going to have to do some serious looking for a new west wind spot and find it pretty quick.


Yep, they've sure cut a LOT of timber on the NF over the past 3 years or so. Wiped out a few of my spots as well.
