What I have found with new clear cuts that deer will travel the same route regardless until they start getting shot. So the first week keep an eye on where those deer normally travel. After that watch the back edges from around 100 yards in. Once new growth comes back go back to watching those areas that they naturally travel threw. Keep in mind any type of new growth no matter how small is food to the deer. Also unfortunately these clear cuts help bring the coyote population up as well. Also it is a good idea to google the edges and print it out for future reference as the deer will learn new trails when pressured. They will use those trails as long as they are not cut. I hope this helps you some.
