    I wonder what they would say when you want them to sign an agreement you're not responsible for any property damage, including standing structures.
    Would it stand up in court I don't know but it would be interesting to see the wheels move in their head.

    The first deal might get takers. Dunno about the two for one deal. A couple suburbanites looking for a cutting ground maybe.

    Allegan State Game Area?
    If it’s state owned why would you need to split it up with this person?
    Sounds like a sneaky con to me. Hahaha

    But there is most of the time still some private land within those game areas.

    Did you put the " really gooder" in there, or was that party of the original ad?

    It sounds like a FHC'er.:handshake:

    I’d go for it, none of it looks to tricky. If one or two were beyond my skills because of structures you still would have saved them a lot of $$$. Then they could hire pro for the tricky ones. But then again I’m probably 700 miles away

    State game areas allow firewood cutting along the fire road for a very reasonable fee. However, like Backwoods Savage said, that particular state game area has small parcels of private land within it.

    I've seen deals like that before. Some hard luck case from the near by city may take him up on the offer. It's not gooder but not necessarily a terrible deal.

    For the first deal I'd drop 'n chop all the easy wood and tell them how much I'd charge for the others near the buildings. Looks like they are all straight drops. No real difficulty on any of them. I love ash and that appears to be in great shape still.

    Kinda thought the same thing on the Ash. Especially if that back hoe in the pic is functional.
