Some time ago, I posted an item in this same topic regarding a clear cutting operation, here in the mountains, near my home. I mentioned that I was gonna try to find out who owned the land and get permission to hunt the logging roads for artifacts. Well I actually got it done. I got permission to hunt the logging roads that they are using to log the mountain but, I found out in the process, that he owns a very very large acreage of mountain land. Everyday when I go to work I pass a couple of areas around the mountains that have logging equipment sitting or logging activity ongoing and these areas are 3 - 4 miles around the mountain. Those are his logging crews but in these areas they're selective cutting but still use logging roads. This opens up a very large area for me to hunt and could keep me busy for a very very long time. With all this rain we're getting now I can hardly wait to get started.

My boots are shaking to get out there .. oh man and all this rain . I love what Josh said I will subscribe to this .
My neighbor clear cut last spring 150 acres . We peaked in trying to see the work and found 2 giant spalls . By the time I got back in Nov it was all overgrown ... just a FYI TRY to get out before the weeds and snakes .

I should be able to beat the weeds and snakes but they wouldn't stop me anyway. I've walked lots of logging roads and only came across two poison snakes - one Copperhead and a Timber rattler. I just watched and waited while they continued on their way. I'm always very mindful of where I put my feet and always on the lookout. Now I have to scan the surrounding area for Black Bears that are starting to become more prevalent in our area.

Honestly I don’t know how my brother and I made it . We would be playing and hear 4 rattlers going off . Just sit still . Wait it out . We were kids running the cal mountains loaded with them . Mountain lions ... camping and bears it’s crazy .
surfing at dusk and sunup worst times ever .
