Seems like turkey react differently to logging from area to area. You never really know. I’ve seen some die within site of the crew, gobbling every time the cutter head buzzed a tree. But mostly, the logging noise makes it tough to hear what you need to hear.


It's 600 acres 300 of which are Pines that are being cut. It is a select cut and the second or third thinning. I went out there today and they have made pretty good progress in 24 hours. I'm hoping that if they will get through with the south side of the property fairly quick and move on to the north. Hopefully then the birds will move back in pretty quick. It sure is pretty where they have gone through already
