if the area is in between where deer bed and where food is, YES they will enter it often to cross to get to where things they want are
as stated above, if tree tops were left behind, it will offer food till things dry, and then maybe a bunch of new bedding spots as well
its its clear cut and wide open, and no need for a deer to enter, then odds are they won't
safety is a major issue for most wild animals, there has to be a reason for them to use a open pace!
but clear cuts can become hot spots as soon as things start to fill back in, how fast has many variables
itt can be a few yrs to more, pending location and weather, and what is being done to site after cutting!(as in, did timber guy re seed things or not
also, there is a great opportunity here, , after a clear cut you can shape the landscape easier, due to having a lot of material on the ground to work with to direct paths past stand sites
just think ahead when doing so
so as things thicken back up, you have open walking paths past future stand sites
