It's been a couple of years ago. I live in Northwest louisiana in the USA and there are a lot of loggers around here. Those folks could have been part of a larger company that just sent a crew out to do small jobs. I wouldn't have any Idea where to start looking for them. The lot had just sold and am not sure which, the seller or the buyer had it logged. They both are investors so I've never met the owners. It sure ruined the looks of that lot though. It's all growed up in brush and briars now.
Up the road someone logged a 50 acre tract and they cut trees with a saw mounted on a skidder. That machine would drive up and grab around the tree and a sawblade would cut it. They had a big piece of equipment that would strip the limbs off the logs.
A good bit of Louisana is timberland.
I own a 20 acre tract myself that I use for hunting. It's in the middle of several thousand acres of forest so there's plenty of deer that cross through my place.
I have a wisteria problem on one end of it though by an old house site.
