Timber Harvesting that Supports Deer Hunters

We’re not only foresters. We’re hunters, too. Combining our expertise in both, we create plans for landowners who want to attract deer and hunt trophy bucks. This can involve identifying stand sites, creating clearings for food plots, and strategically cutting trees to create more cover on the forest floor.

A Job Well Done

Earning our reputation as a hard-working, trustworthy timber buyer since 1974

David, I didn’t know what to expect after the tree cut. I was very pleasantly surprised. The trails were well graded, water bars well placed, tree tops were moved to positions to prevent erosion, and your crew answered all of my questions. Job well done.

We were very happy with how polite and considerate they were when other people’s property was involved. They came to us to ask about using our property (if a tree had fallen on it) if they could cross our property to get it. They also put a wire across the fence line to keep my horses in.

Thank you for taking the time to take on as many storm damage trees that you could and for leaning the edges of the fields along the lines. It made it look so nice to have it clear of branches and damaged trees.

Nate and his son Preston was our crew. They are awesome! I stopped in twice during the harvest. Nate took time to explain things and listen to my concerns. I asked for a couple of favors from his dozer - cleaning up trails and food plots. He exceeded out expectations. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Hillcrest to our friends!

Picked up seven boards with a guy that wanted them hauled to his farm. They are friendly and helpful. Knowledge of product is out of this world. Best lumber yards to deal with!!!

They even have a guy who will mark and tally your timber for you if needed to help secure a competitive bid, and they have published a book on how to improve wildlife with timber harvests.
