Pretty much all I have ever hunted is either logged country and or wilderness here in the northern part of Idaho. Logging country creates phenominal habitat for whitetail, elk, bear, and turkeys out here if itslogged right. Like many have said above, you have to learn how the deer will now use the area. Theres only one way to do that and thats toscout and observe it as much as possible before season. Food sources will become plentiful over time if the loggersopened up the canopy and even better if they burned all the slash...The feedwill most likely become cyclic so keep tabs on changing browse species and native food sources. I've always put 99% of my stock in hunting whitetails on bed and food and not the rut. Because essentially during the rut your just hunting doe family to and from feeding and bedding areas anyway. Get your doe familys travel routespatterned this summer and keep tabs on them this fall.

As a logger myself, I'veexperiencedsuccessful wildlife plots put in right after I've logged an area even in the summer if you can get water on them. Use the loglandings and skid trails to spread seed..while the dirt is still freshly turned. Skid trails out here in thick mountainous terrain serve as great travel corridors by bucks, especially when they get so grown in most humans wouldnt dare try walking through them. One of my landowners I logged for put alfalfa in every area I cleared brush on.. he kills a buck and bull elk every year nowwithout ever leaving his 20 acres.

Good luck and be patient like KS said..over time that area will only add more feed and thick cover for the critters versus a thick canopy with no vegetation.
