Talk:Cut and Shoot, Texas/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Cut and shoot" is a logging term, used to describe a place of dense pine forest where trees were cut and shot down the creek to a mill. Timber industry was big business in the East Texas piney woods. This was the method used in remote locations, not easily accessible by logging trucks, but where a water way existed that was fit for shooting the logs downstream. Logging roads soon replaced the antiquated method, but the name stuck, as other local legends prevailed.
