Cutting is only one step of the timbering process. It's what happens afterwards that matters. If they cut it and just move onto other projects, you can be left with a mess. It may be crap you can't even walk across without breaking your leg
The sooner they get back on it after cutting and push piles, burn, harrow and replant the better.
Also try to find out if they are cutting all pines, third rowing, 5th rowing, or selective cutting. The latter three can make some of the finest hunting terrain there is
Also....
An edge along a hardwood treeline next to a clearcut are my top #1 place to hunt

From what Tracie at Rayonier said, they were clear cutting and leaving the hardwood. She did state that they plant in either the fall or spring. With that being said, it sounded like the harvesting would be soon and they would plant after that. This is all new to me so I will see. I am probably going up there this weekend to see if they have started or not. Tracie said they would contact me prior to harvesting, but I won't hold my breath they will.

If you have anything on the property that has the potential to grow legs, I suggest you remove it till the cutting is done. I had a camera disappear while they were cutting my old lease
