Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire timber pricing

Bad blood between neighbors sucks. I got it with ours to the NE. We needed access from their property to properly log ours. Offered them 5k plus fixing their roads even at time when they don't have crops in. They told us to pound sand.

40 acres of pulp and still 110 hardwood trees standing.

Hardwood guys pulled 125 trees before our swamp filled with water.

I added gas to the fire recently. They have a natural drain from the SW corner of their field going through our property into the swamp. I dammed it up. They didn't grow much in that area with water build up.

Fugg them

@OP, IF you are concerned with getting a fair price, if you are concerned with how your property looks after the cut, if you are trying not to get screwed ... hire a professional consulting forester. MOST private property owners only do one or two timber sales in their life time. And there are 50 ways for an unscrupulous logger or timber buyer to skin a property owner. A professional forester may not be cheap. But, is money well spent.

Everyone pushes foresters.

Please be careful with these guys.
It's a business fraught with crooks.
Do not assume that a foresters is the ticket to a fair deal.
They should be.
Just like lawyers should be honest.


Be very careful with your choice.

You might be choosing the guy who will make it all work great.
Or, the guy who facilitates the scam.

Thing is, you will never even know if he screws you.
If he s good, everything will come off beautiful.
You will just unknowingly get paid less money for less timber
than you sold.

Solid advice here
