Hey everyone, I need some advice. The natural regeneration pine stand on my hunting property in Madison, Ga is in need of its first thinning. The pines are about 14 years old and average around 5 inches in diameter. Recently we had a logger come out to look at the property and they said they could not thin the stand effectively enough to turn a profit, so they would not do it. Is it typical to have to pay a logger to selectively harvest a young pine stand? Or do you think I could find another logger that would pay to take out these trees for pulp wood?
