I enjoy the work more than the hunting and really wish that I had been keeping a journal of all my ventures. I’m 4 years into my most recent project and it’s shaping up nicely. Just hope I live long enough to see those Longleaf grow into poles. They are 2 years old and I just recently finished burning them for the first time. Gonna do a site prep burn on another tract this weekend to get it ready for its second rotation of pines. I had planned on holding it a few more years, but pine decline and the pole market changed my plans. It was kinda bittersweet to be out there marking poles in a stand that I helped my granddaddy plant when I was just a kid. He sold his cows and planted pines back in 1994 using a pull behind planter from the forestry commission. They “let” me ride the planter on most of it. After a couple days, I was pretty good at it. My payment for all my hard work was a brand new pair of 12” LL Bean hunting boots because that’s exactly what I wanted. I first thinned it in September 2009, did a marked second thinning in October 2016 and clearcut it in November 2025. I had also burned it a half dozen times during the rotation. That ol creek bottom grew a mighty fine stand of timber and produced a return that even 2Dogs would give a tip of the hat.
