Hunters Management Group
About Hunters Management Group
Hunters Management Group works out of Promise City, Iowa, doing hands-on land and habitat work rather than timber sales. Their focus is hunter property management and Conservation Reserve Program assistance, helping farmers and recreational landowners get more access and less erosion on their ground. The work itself covers site preparation, brush and invasive species control, heavy machinery and forestry mowing, tree planting by hand and machine, planting maintenance, and forest stand improvement. On the land management side they build trails and bridges, install culverts, stabilize waterways, and handle CRP maintenance, mowing, chemical application, and food plot work. They say they are "fully licensed and insured" and point to "over 50 years of combined sustainable land management experience backed by training and education" among their team. Projects start the same way no matter the service: "we like to kick off our projects with a conversation and a free site visit that helps us get the lay of the land." From there they move into whatever mix of clearing, planting, or maintenance the property needs. This fits a landowner thinking about habitat, access, or CRP ground upkeep rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or get a timber sale managed. From hmgiowa.com, read 10 October 2026.
Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
