I logged about 20 acres of Douglas Fir in 2013. I was delighted with the job the contractor did. He manufactured the logs to mill contract specs and the scale tickets only dinged me for 3% to 5% defect, half of what I was expecting. I have steep slopes, and experienced NO erosion the next winter. He cleaned up the landings, including all the bark and slash left from the faller-buncher. He even found a pulp market for 90 tons of tops too small to make saw logs. He had a nice payday, I had a better one, and we parted as friends. He came highly recommended and I have passed the recommendation on.
