I don't think you'll see much immediate effect, as others have pointed out. If the area is opened up, however, either from the removal of trees or openings from skid trails, you may well see the deer change their patterns a bit over the next few years. Do some scouting after season to figure out if it has affected you much. I had to abandon a stand location in one of my areas because they opened it up too much (for the deer...it was a good logging job for the forest) and the deer moved their travel route a couple hundred yards away.
