Sawtooth a keep their leaves year round and are as easy to grow as a pine
I have posted my opinion and plenty of times here I won't do it again because I'm too lazy.

If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
Missing you my great friend.
I remember your pics also
Do you still have the Springer
Man and other animals were first vegetarians; then Noah and his sons were given permission to eat meat: “every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you” Genesis 9:3

I’ve learned some handy knife work since my indoctrination into the Messican culture. Watch yourself...

Figure $100/acre and you should be good.
As to the comments from others about waiting another year on harvesting .. why? Prices aren't gonna skyrocket and you're missing another year toward a new rotation. All this being said if you look at timber as a business not hobby. Think 15 yr pulpwood clearcuts not 40 year logs.
Yep when I replant I’m going to plant the best trees with plans of clear cutting in 12-14.
Is the ground currently worked or is it a pasture or hay field?
For the ducks
Yep
A lot depends on site prep (burn, bed, spray, etc) and then the quality of trees you put back in the dirt. If you just flat plant it without having to do anything else your initial cost shouldn't exceed $100.00 on average. Some parts of the state may be different as far as pricing.
Why would you plant the best trees and clear-cut them in 12-14 years? The "best" trees/genetic material are geared towards future sawtimber potential. Why not hire a forester with access to the nursery PRS scores and plant an OP seedling with high volume growth and clear-cut at 12-14 years old.
"Best" Trees - $305/M
OP Elite Trees - $80/M
M= per thousand
Assuming you plant 622 TPA your initial seedling investment would be:
"Best" Trees - $189.71/acre for seedlings
OP Trees - $49.76/acre for seedlings
Why would you invest an additional $140/acre in seedlings if your goals is to clear-cut at age 12-14?

Do y’all do much with Arbor Gen’s MCP elite or varietals? The percentages are pretty impressive as far as intensive forest management goes.
