Not necessarily. I’ve been in MIH’s situation, and it’s not ideal but not the end of the world for this season. In my experience, deer generally adapt pretty quickly to having loggers on site and don’t pay them much attention to them.
Personally, I’d be mad as hell, but MIH has the right attitude.
Just a boat load of does and crows. A few basket rack bucks and one record tall fork horn.
Forgot to say if it is not a squirrel or coon adjusting the aim of my cam then it is the spider building a web across the lens.
The issue is that they basically clear cut since they're a lumber and pulp operation. Being primarily a bow hunter and this place being roughly 60/40 timber vs field, it's going to hurt. I've never archery hunted western Oklahoma and prefer hunting timber so I have all ladder stands. Guess we'll see what happens. I just hope for a very wet September through January to hold them off.
I remember last year when the same landowner was having your lease logged that they didn't touch trees with your stands. You should collect unwanted game cams from people and unwanted tree stands to from a couple protected areas. Lol.
It is unfortunate that it seems as if the loggers are following you around instead of vice versa.
Yep, that's what I'm doing. I'm placing stands in trees that I think could be good, just to try and protect that tree. Basing it mainly off of terrain at this point given tree lines will disappear. If it rains enough, they'll stay out. Knowing my luck, they'll arrive in November...
Got some hogs
They will ruin your keyboard.
With any luck, enough cheap climbing spikes, cameras and stands you can save the right trees to make 2 or 3 perfect spots rather than 5 or 6 mediocre spots.
