Default RE: Areas that have been logged.

Welll, as my dad and three of his brothers own a logging/lumber company, i've seen first hand what logging does to an area. We own a couple large tracts of land, one of which is 750 acres. Most of this is logged off, and there are some large clearcuts. And the deer LOVE it. More places to hide. They get in the thickest, nastiest cover they can find. Alot of browse, good protection, its perfect. You have to get right in the thick of things. Find a tree big enough that is overlooking trail intersections. Usually, the deer, especially SLOB bucks, won't skirt around the clearcut. They go right in the middle. Why leave? Plenty of food and cover. Dont burn it, it would destroy PERFECT whitetail habitat. And for people who bitch about it like Mantis, you obviously havent studied the effects of logging on the deer herd well enough to give your opinion on it. So shut up.
