Weyerhaeuser to buy Plum Creek

[Hi-Liter]

Don't know if I like this, too much of a monopoly imo. Also, Weyerhaeuser charges hunters to use their land?

As long as we stop selling our public land off, they can do what they want. I won't be buying their dirty permits.

This one hurts!
Plum Creek has a lot of open ground in my area that we hunt. Now it's locked up under the Whorehauser Corporation.

So much for showing my grandkids where their dad caught his first fish!

It's already locked up? That was fast.

 This according to YAHOO News......
Plum Creek Timber (PCL) has agreed to merge with rival Weyerhaeuser (WY) in a deal that values the combined company at over $20 billion dollars. The merger will create the largest owner of timberland in the U.S. with over 13,000 acres of forests.

13,000 acres...geez, how do they get to control the other 12,987,000 acres they make us pay to enter?

They're going to make more money off you permit buyers than from those hockey stick studs they sell.

Oh, so more areas to buy access permits next year?  Oh boy, it's going to be a tough decision! Which one to buy?

[Hi-Liter]

Plum Creek usually doesn't care what you do on their land as long as you follow rules and laws. Now some of the land we hunt on will be permit only I am sure. Sucks

Toll roads are cool too! Right

With timber prices down I think you will see more consolidation. Bad trend for us hunters!

Not yet, but the grandkids are 1 year and one on the way.  By the time they will be old enough to understand, it will be under lock and key.

Yeah, you're right. If it's under Weyerhaeuser ownership, it'll most likely be permit access only.
