Lots of logs, short time

Is it worth it to saw the logs into cants for later resawing when time is short?

Yes, but there will be more loss than if you milled the log ASAP.

Where is the loss?

When the cants sit around they degrade, they crack and move around. You will have to put them back on the mill and trim then up again and you WILL have some loss.

It's better than losing the whole tree to bugs though...
