I didn't know y'all had any steep slopes , LOL! If one of those LA crews came up here they'd say y'all have lost your minds and hillbilly loggers are crazy. They wouldn't even unload their equipment. laugh



Actually, just had 2 brothers move up there to cut the steep slopes was my understanding. Bill and Kirk Sanders.


thumbup Where they working and for whom? You know where they're selling their grade logs? Do they use only a cut down machine or will they go old school and use a saw? Where some of the best timber grows must be cut with a saw and pulled with a cable to get the grapple to it. There are spots just too steep and rough that just can't be safely cut by the best locals. Some do have the "if it grows, we'll get it" motto. And it's all good till you roll a skidder, dozer or truck back in the mountains. I suspect their idea of steep and the locals idea is gonna be very different.


I don't know where they are but I was told last week they had bought some special type of equipment for cutting slopes. That's what I was told, now I'll tell you what I KNOW: Neither one of those brothers elevator goes to the top floor. How they have lived this long is a miracle. One is an artist. I have a turkey painting on my wall right now he painted. IIRC he did the duck stamp one year. Studied in Paris. He taught me to Turkey hunt. One morning he picked me up and we went off, stopped and walked...and walked....and walked. Finally got to a field and we it started getting daylight i noticed a treestand. A while later I noticed it was MY treestand. He had taken me poaching on my own property. I could go on and on from him blowing up ( I mean with dynamite) a loaner car from the dealership accidentally to him causing a search for a crashed plane that didn't happen.

The other brother is rude, crude, and just socially unacceptable. Head so flat he could look through a skeleton key hole with both eyes. Been married 2 times I know of. Very rich and very beautiful women. I don't understand it.

But I'll ask where they are this week.


Sounds like a real pair of winners. I'm bettin' they bit off more than they can chew up here and will be headed back to more "friendly" terra soon.
