About Antlers and Oaks Land Stewardship Services, LLC
Antlers and Oaks Land Stewardship Services, LLC is in Nixa, Missouri. Tim Russell runs it, offering forest and wildlife consulting to help landowners' "lands prosper and remain healthy to sustain agricultural, wildlife and forest resources on their properties." This is consulting work, not logging or timber buying. The services include forest and timber inventory, timber stand improvement (TSI), forest resource inventory, wildlife habitat establishment, prescribed fire planning, and a forest or woodland stewardship plan. Tim works with oaks, hickories, and Chinkapin oak. The process starts with a woodland inventory of tree species, size-class, and density, then a written plan with maps and an annual schedule for carrying out the work. He covers Christian County and has experience across Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas. He is a Certified Wildlife Biologist with a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Conservation and Management, certifications in forest management, and 40 years of experience in natural resources work. This listing doesn't give a stated minimum acreage. The business does describe pricing tied to "the first 500 acres," which suggests it's set up to work with larger tracts, though that's about pricing structure rather than a floor on size. This fits a landowner who wants a written stewardship plan covering wildlife habitat and forest health together, not just a timber sale, and who doesn't mind the consulting being part of a broader land management approach rather than a quick harvest transaction.

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.
