Many folks are wary of timber harvesting—and rightfully so.

Harvesting is messy and can be shocking at first. But with the guidance of a professional forester, a well-planned harvest can improve forest health, support wildlife habitat, and generate long-term revenue.

Scioto-Hocking Timber Management is committed to improving Ohio’s private woodlands. When landowners harvest with us, the focus is on responsible, sustainable forestry that aligns with their long-term goals.

If you’re on the fence about your timber, reach out for a complimentary over-the-phone or in-person consultation.

Own 10+ acres of woodland in Ohio?
A properly managed forest can save you thousands in property taxes each year.

Many landowners qualify for tax reductions through Ohio woodland tax programs (CAUV & OFTL)—both of which require an approved Forest Management Plan.

Scioto-Hocking Timber Management prepares property-specific Forest Management Plans and advises landowners through the enrollment process, helping them pursue these tax savings with confidence.

📞 Call, email, or visit our website to discuss your woods and explore your options.

Merry Christmas from Scioto-Hocking

I have been blessed to serve so many great people this year.

Another very successful drone recovery! 🛸 We were able to retrieve two of Shawn's deer-- buck and doe. He made some long range shots at them at the end of gun season over the weekend. Two days later the buck had lost all thermal radiation. No problem for the Matrice 4T, simply switch to visual! The deer hadn't gone 200 yards thanks to Shawn's marksmanship. His smile says it all.
If you need a drone, Scioto-Hocking delivers more than satisfaction. We bring success to the table!

A few weeks ago I got the opportunity to preform a recovery for Adam Hays III. Needless to say it was an awesome success! We found this deer in just a few minutes under some short trees. I was totally ignorant to his status as a celebrity until his camera man started filming. It was a little unexpected.
And congratulations to Adam on another 🫎 HUGE 🫎 buck! We'll worth the wait for him-- patience really is a virtue.
There is still lots of hunting to happen this hunting season. Scioto-Hocking has a proven track record of helping folks finish their hunt. If you are considering enlisting the help of a thermal drone, give me a call.

🌲What is a consulting forester?🌲

A consulting forester is a professional who works independently or with a private firm to help woodland owners manage their forests and other natural resources for a fee.

Services may include forest management plans, timber stand improvement, timber inventories and valuations, and administering timber sales.

Not all consulting foresters offer the same services. Some provide a full range of management support, while others specialize in specific practices.

It may suprise some folks, but I took my very first deer last friday in gun season. Hunting wasn't a central part if my upbringing, but this year I have really dove into it. With lots of help from T & K Outfitters, I put this little guy on the ground and soon he will head to my freezer.

As always there is a story behind it. It was day three of sitting out last week. I was cold and getting exhausted. I had passed on two dozen does and nearly half that many bucks-- some of decent size. We were waiting to see one of a few big bucks that we knew were out there, unsure when they'd finally show. By that third day I was simply out of time. It was an hour before last light and I had barely seen three does all day long. I bowed my head and prayed, asking the good Lord to bless me with a buck for my very first deer. I opened my eyes and not 10 seconds later did the pictured deer walk into the clearing to eat. I had already passed on this one before, but I knew that he was the answer to my prayers. I was not about to pass on the good Lord's blessing, so just before the deer walked away I pulled the trigger. He made it 30 yards before hitting the ground.
And, of course, I had to take the drone out to see!
I was also blessed to be surrounded by family that night for my first deer. Regardless of size, my first deer was made absolutely special.
