Don'for t know what your location looks like in re surrounding land, etc. but I had about 26 acres clear cut in 2014. It hadn't been cut for more than 100 years. I'm surrounded by state park, and large vacant tracts of forest. Deer, turkey and quail are now moving back in and living there because there is more cover vice a mature forest. In the short run, there will be a detrimental effect, but in the long run, game wise you'll be much happier. IMHO.
