Gobbler, I would not think that the present landowner (just from what I have heard) would foot the bill for any timber mgmt that would cost money. Somebody other than the guy from, where, Eufaula (?), must own that piece of property that you burned.

I know the piece of land that I hunted the most was raped and every tree worth hauling out was cut!!! From what I could tell when I saw it a few years ago, "responsible" timber harvest was thrown out the window. Even wetland areas, because they were dry when the chainsaws were present, were taken advantage of and scalped! It was truly very sad! But the AMOUNT OF BROWSE was incredible!!!!! Sunlight hit the ground!
