Places that have been cut can be strange sometimes to say the least! I hunt mostly areas that have been cut as paper companies own most of the land here. Some cuttings the deer will use the same trails they have been using for years. Other cuttings they travel through and in and out of the twich roads that the skidders have left behind. Then other cuttings they only travel around on the backs of the cuttings. I think a lot of this is due to pressure from hunters as well as predators. As the cuttings start to grow the deer will travel through them even more so to get the young saplings and rasberry bushes. Up here almost all of the cuttings has wild rasberry bushes in them and the deer appear to love eating them. Good Luck to you and I think you will be successfull. Those twich roads gives you a good clean place to shoot through..
