I wanted to add another thing too, if you have moose in your state those cuttings will draw them in quite quickly. As those saplings start to grow both deer and moose will move in. Also if you find a wide area that has been left cleared in the cutting put some clover in it. The clover will grow pretty good there while you are waiting for the saplings to get bigger. As you know deer will be moving in to help you mow it..
Here is an area that is growing up from the spring and in the fall it will be just as short..All around this area there is twich roads that deer will travel. This is only one of about 8 that has been planted. The deer will travel through different ones and brouse on the clover.
