timber cutting and hunting season next year
The land I hunt is going to be timbered in June, July or August of this year . I have acces to 150 acres approx. about 90 acres woods and 60 feild, give or take a few. Two of us hunt the farm and the surrounding farms have more preassure, year round if you know what i mean. Where i hunt we obey laws and there are two of us that stay in stands and dont still hunt until LATE season. The woods will not be clear cut, but trees in the 15+ in. range will be taken. The timber company estimated taking 600-800 trees, mostly cherry, a few oak and maple. In some spots all of the trees meet these requirements and will be taken. So there will be mini clear cuts. The company will be leaving the tree tops on the ground for habitat and brows. What I want to know is how this will affect deer movement in the SHORT term, mainly the following season. Any help will be appreciated.
