i have hunted my entire life as does my father,brother,nephews and my three sons. we all own land here in north central,nh we also respect wildlife and their surroundings. if you get the chance view local logging projects both convential and bio mass then let me know which operation has more deer. remember my problem with bio mass is not just concern about deer its the fact that the timber in nh is being depleted at an alarming rate just go to any saw mill and ask them what the average dia. of a log was 30 years ago compared to today. as for leaving the slash if done properly you can't tell the difference between bio mass and convential. the writer in a earlier post with five acres of land well five acres is not really considered a timber lot it is more of a yard and probably would be considered a service rather then a logging project. did he get paid for any timber i wonder? if he did he should not be complaining about brush. no bio mass operation is going to come out and do a harvest on such a small piece of land. after all they have millions of dollars invested. so for you with the five acres shame on you you shouldn't have been so cheap and hired someone to take the trees down in your back yard and if you want to have a real timber harvest done well you'll have to by a real piece of land !!
