RE: logging
they just finished logging our land and the surrounding public land this last year, it was about a 5 year process, they selective cut our property and clear cut a bunch of the public land. one thing i will say, it looks like a totally different area. i wouldnt wry too much about it affecting your hunting. my dad hunted in the middle of some clear cut and he shot deer while they were working only 300-400 yards away. if your land is being clear cut like ours did, in a few years you'll be shocked at all the new growth, in our case it was poplar, and it is VERY thick. my dad still hunts in the same spot and 2 years ago he shot a nice 7 that was cruisin right through the thick stuff. expect to see an increase in size of your deer in the next couple years because of the excessive amounts of browse available. it may look kinda messy, but dont let it bother you, and good luck.
