Not all logging companies are huge multinational corporations.  I know of more than a few people that own 70 or 90 or 200 or more acres that are used for timber harvest.  Just take a look at the county assessor parcel maps and you'll see how fragmented the land ownership is in some areas--but if you walk through the area, it will come off as one giant tree farm (and those large consolidated farms do exist in some areas).  The folks I know that own these smaller parcels usually also hunt or someone in the family does, and so far I haven't heard any say they want wolves, most like having deer/elk.  The animal they don't like is bear, especially if they have any firs.

I'll buy that.

I just look at the St. Helens tree farm or any number of corporate timber lands and I don't see those companies ever saying anything one way or another on the issue. When I was a kid in elementary school one of the timber companies gave the classes a tour and everyone planted trees. I still remember putting nets over the saplings to keep the deer from nibbling on them.

This is an asinine topic.

I've never met a logger who didn't hunt,  and I've met a ton of them.  All those loggers got keys and access and typically hunt near their operations,  lot of guys will just sit and wait for a bear or something to come in while everyone else locks up and goes home.   I know you've never been on a logging operation aspen or you wouldn't pursue this avenue of thought.

Animals love all the fresh downed trees and bears are attracted to a landing site like moths to a flame!

the cattle and cooperate connection was already made, I'll just add a +1 to that.
:yeah: :yeah:

Got that right. With that being said I would guess that large companies probably couldn't care less. Small operations and the loggers themselves I am sure see no good of it.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Or you could just sit back and wait fro people from the timber industry to chime in. But you won't do that because it doesn't forward your goals.

Sorry, reality is not kind to you here.

We all know where YOU stand. Please stop and let's see what others have to say.

If it makes you feel better. But I'm right and you darn well know it. Those companies could give two toots less about what people think. If wolves are even on their radar it's in an anti ungulate kind of way.

I see the way it is....

You are wasting your time, Aspen doesn't realize there is more land east of the cascade summit than west of the cascades.  :twocents:

Don't worry, the big timber absolutely hates wolves, spotted owls, marbled murreletts, eagles, hawks, spotted leopard frogs, owls and a hundred other species that limit their ability to log their land or anybodys land.  If they come out publicly and made a statement to that effect it would be political suicide.  The whole purpose of endangered species is to stop resource uses and anybody that actually uses or harvests these resources despises all these species because of the enormous loss it brings to their occupation.  Some of these companies have developed what they call "green wood", that was harvested in an environmentally friendly manner, not affecting any endangered species or harming any land it was harvested on.  This was just a sales gimmic of course but it increased sales so do you think they would dare come out publicly and criticize any of these precious protected critters?  No Way!

No, but the nets didn't work very well which is why they've always let hunters in to hunt.

Again, if you don't think they see the wolf as a possible win/win you're ignoring the facts. Greenies like wolves and hate hunters. It's pure marketing gold from a corporate perspective. They kill two birds with one stone.

The only thing green big timber cares about is money.

Aspen, wow! This is hilarious. Even when you agree with the wolf haters, they argue with you.   :chuckle:
