A chain saw can be a hunters friend BUT NOT CLEAR CUT and entire area thinning is good yes But Clear cut no thiose of you who thinks it is good have not tried hunting large clearcuts after the new growth grows a couple of feet and on its virtually impossible to get an arrow through as it grows a bullet becomes tough also , deer travel patterns drastically change they browse entirely after all mast trees are cut down so virtually no reliable travel patterns before you speak try it for awhile
