I hunt on a State farm which only state employees can hunt on. Next to it is a private farm. One of my favorite hunting spots is in a location right next to the private farm where not many other people on the state farm hunt. This place is LOADED with squirrels. I've called up a bunch of turkeys there and in fall see them going to roost all the time. The place also has plenty of deer.
Well the spot has (had) a tract of woods which was probably from my estimation on google maps, +/- 250 acres. This spring about 60% of it on the private farm side was cut down to the ground...not a tree left standing, except a buffer zone around a creek.
On the image below, I hunt on the farm to the right of the orange line. The tract of woods is outlined in blue, the area outline in red has been cut down. It almost makes me want to cry. In a few years the state farm is going to be made into a state park for all the rich land owners in the area to ride their horses...so no more hunting. That day I may actually cry.
