Default Clear Cutting by Timber Company

Just found out that my hunting club is getting heavily cleared/thinned before the season. At least 20 people and their spots will be effected. I just got done hanging and setting everything up. Now I have to find a way to get everything back down before they cut and clear. They will not hesitate to cut and destroy all the equipment. I'm very disappointed and frustrated. Especially when my feeders are 20-25ft high hanging from a tree and just filled them both up (300lbs of feed total). I know one spot I hunt is getting cleared. I'm hoping my other spot is just getting thinned but I doubt it. The only good things there are pockets of oaks which can't be cut that are in my spots. I'm really hoping they get in and get out. Maybe the season won't be ruined but I'm thinking its done for as far as deer. I believe the hogs will come back easier but that's not what I want to hunt the entire year and I hate this to be a waste of 1800 dollars. There still will be good timber around but nothing near me. When Generally clearing that much land how can it effect deer movement?
