I have 40-50 acres of beautiful mature thinned burned pine timber I wish to heck was a clear cut. It would be a clear cut right now if not for a lying scum bag timber buyer. Lesson learned is do not write a 1 year contract and when the guy is telling ya how they will be able to knock that right out as soon as it is dry enough, SOB is lying out his face. Unfortunately my best friend, who was in the business his whole life, vouched for the guy and it turns out he was a piss poor judge of character. So I expect I am going to be 1 year behind in my management plan and then have to go find someone who will actually get it cut.
