I'm not in the logging business and don't know what pulp wood is selling for currently, but from what I've seen there is much less logging going on in northern Wisconsin and the U.P. than there was a decade or two back. Our softwood forests are growing up and anything over about four feet high is pretty useless to foraging deer. The paper industry is really big here, more specifically the tissue and toilet tissue industry and all you nose blowers and butt wipers prefer the much softer eucalyptus pulp that ships in here from South America. Our best deer hunting counties are way south of where they once were when I was growing up due to better agriculture that turns deer into grazers, milder winters, fewer predators and less poaching.
