You can bet that the deer have already moved into this area and will be regularly using these trails through this thicket. I've done similar trail cuttings and have been shocked by the number of mature bucks that would show up nearly instantly! No doubt about it, it WILL attract some serious deer! It should be a great location for ya. My only concern is that this sanctuary area that I'm sure resident deer have utilized for years has now been violated and the effect of hunting pressure will quickly have a dramatic effect. Allow the deer a large area that you won't penetrate and and always keep this area upwind. Good luck on your new set-up.
