Responsible Logging is one of the best ways to improve habitat! I wouldn’t say Washington cares about logging revenue that much or they would have managed the forest better before it all burned up. I know loggers who get their elk every year at their logging site before work. deer and elk flock to active logging sites. The real benefit comes when they are done and you can actually get some feed growing

Logging is normally good for deer but they need to do more than just clear and leave junk behind. That is what I was saying.

Or worse they leave junk and spray everything that isn't a sapling.

If you drive around capitol forest you can see that they only care about logging revenue. There are areas that would be good grasslands but the state left too much crap on the ground and only salal comes in. I always see bush pickers without a discover pass but never an officer. Hunting season comes around and you get a convoy of vehicle hunters to hunt down any remaining deer. It's a joke and not managed at all.

  makes sense! context is everything!

That was how i did it for decades...  We had a rack on the back of the crummy that carried supplies in the spring, summer and winter...and game in the fall.  Had a Winchester 94 in .32 WS in the log truck or the cab of the yarder.
