I would wonder what the logic is to clear cut that much timber, are they planning to sell it in the near future to a developer??
I would be asking questions here?

that said
clear cutting can do both help and hurt things
can be a great time to start planting tree in areas you like for down the road, as it will give new planted tree's a much better shot at taking roots for you , less issues with shading and competing with other things

you can also, add fertilizer and lime, to areas you hunt and they will be preferred
so you can make your own sweet spots better
add in a few shooting houses now will be easier too, ansd you can start working shooting lanes in and then just UP keep them
I;'d be chatting with timber guys to ask them, to help clear some lanes for you too, a couple bucks in cash, will work 90% of the time and save you a lot of leg and back work LOl
as they will have HD equipment on site I gather, a dozer say, will make fast work for you here
you can also use them to make some small clearings for food plots, which will be Awesome for building about !!
as they say either adapt or go under when things like his happen
and also, build it and they will come??
clear cuts will grow back faster than you think too, and provide tons of cover and new browse for deer
remember, deer are browsers by nature, acorns are nice, but there NOT a food source all yr, browse is, and GOOD browse is all they need!
