I was a logger for a good many years. This is pretty the norm for a mechanicalized logging harvest. If you wanted to do a "surgical" precise harvest you would have been better off going with a logger who uses Horses or Oxen. As far as the wood left behind, if you dont burn wood, there are firewood companies that would be more than happy to come in and pay you for the firewood left behind. As far as wildlife, you're going to be surprised how many critters will move in now that it's thinned out.
Thank you, we appreciate your feedback. We agree that maybe a smaller "surgical" logging experience is what we should have had. The equipment was far larger than we expected in the woods and on our pond dam. I've been concerned about the critters and will be very pleased to have them back and happy.
Well unbelievable, sorry to here. Creeks filled in broken off trees still standing. Do not care about there name or your land. Not all of us do that kind of work
We feel that our property has been disrespected. We still don't know how we will proceed but we did meet with the owner of the company. It was a good initial conversation (we think) but there needs to be more conversations had for sure.
It is hard to tell from this video but I saw palet logs left in the tops. As for the one they fell into the other trees it might be that a gust hit it wrong. Not saying they did a good job.
Thank you, we are posting a video in a few minutes around our pond. We would appreciate your thoughts on that one. So, we have 3 videos (on Loggers Done) plus one where their equipment was almost going off into the pond. It's alot but we are trying to get some feedback. Thank you for your time.
Commercial logging isn't pretty, but it's effective. The name of the game is to harvest the "target" species as quickly and efficiently as possible. As the old adage goes, time is money. I know its not what you WERE expecting, but perhaps it is what you SHOULD have expected. In 3 years the land will heal itself and you'll "love" the new neighbors.
Logging is never pretty but they could have done some things to ease the pain. It wouldn't have been too much to ask for them to stack brush piles instead of leaving the tops scattered. Truthfully, I have seen better and worse. The deer will be interested in opening the canopy.
Thank you for your feedback. We agree about the deer and it's even better in the long run for the trees. I'm not sure we will do this again, but it was a learning experience.
@@BackHomeWithUs I struggled since I bought my land and finally logged this year. I'm getting ready to seed native grass but the deer have already responded. The turkey will use the brush piles for a few years. Good luck.

Yes, it wasn't what was expected but we are living with it now. LOL Thanks for the tips on the firewood as well. @@swampyankee72
@@BackHomeWithUs Your welcome, might as well make lemonade out of all those lemons. :-)
