when I lived in Hale Co in the early 80's there were HUGE vast areas of mature hardwoods from Moundville to west of Greensboro along the Warrior River . By 1987 or so the timber companies and private landowners had clearcut well over 10,000 acres, prolly near 15,000 acres of that forest. All in a short period of time. The turkey population in that area declined greatly. I was there, working in the woods daily and saw the decline first hand. 22.9 million forested acres in AL. 15,000/22,900,000 = 0.00065502% They just moved somewhere else temporarily - a cycle. That was also before the days of sustainable forestry and harvest size and location restrictions, mostly practiced today by timber companies, not private landowners. Try again. It is pretty much impossible to argue that timberland is better than the more natural patchwork that we had before. Obviously it isn't the nail in the coffin, but it is not ideal either. To argue that it has done anything but hurt the population is foolish.
