Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott visits Brookhaven, Mississippi’s Bowlin Logging LLC. Third generation loggers Terry and Todd Bowlin inherited the sawdust in their DNA from their father and grandfather. Todd, 49, and Terry, 44, own Bowlin Logging LLC, working together as equal partners. With two crews usually operating together on different parts of the same tract, the brothers have worked out a natural division of duties for themselves. “I am the PR man and the flunky, and Terry keeps things going in the woods,” Todd grins. “Logging was just in our blood,” he continues. “We enjoy it, even though the trucks take some of the enjoyment out of it.” Terry adds, “It’s Just the freedom. We punch no time clock.” Their grandfather, Lee Bowlin, worked in the woods with crosscut saws and mules. “He was sure enough old school,” Todd says of his grandfather.
