ok so this is my first post....here is my situation, i hunt about 400 acers (200wooded) in southerntier ny, there is a seasonal road that separates this land about 50/50. nowthis is not my land (but i have permission to hunt all of it), the owner and the state have some kind of agreement where the state comes in and logs some of the land like every 15 years or so, and the owner gets some kind of tax break. anyway, i found out on sunday the loggers have come and gone (i hope). they have ripped up about 60 acers of the woods that i normally have my most suscess with. i look at this as bitter/sweet.
i'll start with the bitter. all the activity in that area has got to have some bad effects on any deer wanting to stay there, and even if i tried to hunt the area it would be very difficult to get back there and find a treedue to all the tops and brush everwhere, not to mention what i would have to clear away for shooting lanes.withbow season starting oct. 18 i dont feel there is enough time for me to clear everything out, and scout the area. plus i dont even know if they are done in there yet.i should also mention, the area the loggers used to access the land i hunt, i do not have permission to go on or i would just use their new trails.
but on the brighter side, all of the new bedding area they have created for me will really make for holding alot of deer (most likelynext year). so, any suggestions??
