I want my 3 minutes back... He could at least have the decency to come back and tell us what happened or clarify what was/wasn t disclosed after starting a rant thread like that...

Yeah, I would have liked to hear the whole story too. Back in the early 90s an uncle of mine bought some land in a similar situation. A 3000 acre tract was divided into tracts of 100-300 acres and sold at auction, but all the timber was already sold and they had 2 years to get it out. He ended up with 500 acres of good land at under $400 an acre. He negotiated with the timber folks and bought back some pretty wide SMZs, but that turned out to be a bad investment as those trees were not able to stand up to the wind and a lot of them ended up down.

Still, he did the best he could and much of the second forest has been cut now.

The guy who bought the land next to him tried to thwart the timber company in everything they did. It was a constant battle, and he lost every round. They got their timber out and gave up on making him happy. I suspect the OP will end up like that guy.

If the buyer knows about the timber rights at closing and fights afterward it’s disingenuous behavior. A deal is a deal and we should strive to keep our end of a bargain.

I like this option the best.

Should probably chain himself to one of those trunks with the 3-leaf ferns all over it. I hear they keep the bugs away.

Does he not understand a clearcut is deer heaven . If he nice to loggers they will build him food plots like i do .

You make them an offer they don’t refuse.
