I hunt one that sounds about like what youre talking about. Its about a 7 year old clearcut right now, and while i can still see down into some places while in a treestand, you need to find the time to walk the perimeter of it and find where well used trails are and maybe focus on them more. Other than that, where youll find a funnel leading out of it or maybe a ridge in the middle petering out leading into big woods would be two nice spots to focus in on as well.

If I have to climb 50', then that's what I do! I'm serious, LOL, I've got a 50' parachute cord in my bag and I've dangled it before a few times.

Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

A buddy of mine hunts a clear cut that is exactly like what you are talking about. He can't by any means see ALL of it but he climbs a tree as high as he can watching a hill side in the clear cut. Take some good binos and glass, glass, glass. He's killed a good buck the last three years doing this. Only one more thing....can I come hunt it? Never hurts to ask.

Ok. So say you kill one in that thick nasty stuff that's 6 to 8 foot tall. Any tricks on finding the deer. Because once you climb down you can't see anything.

The only buck I have ever hunted for his rack was killed this way.
I got messed up one day and was walking out and wondered what was in the 1.5 acre thicket from hell in the middle of the big thicket and walked all around in the middle of it just to see. I found rub after rub after rub, bed after bed after bed, nipped off honeysuckle and other browse and I jumped a sure enough buck out of his bed. Almost stepped on him. Could have shot at him as he sailed away but I don't do that sort of thing.
The only way to hunt him was to hang a stand 54' up in a massive old maple tree so I could see down into the thicket. I actually had to go buy some more screw in steps as I didn't have enough even after gathering up the two sets I had in other trees to safely reach that high.
I shot him three days later.

I just tried my best to pinpoint exactly what tree and bush the deer was standing in front of when shot. Luckily they fell in their tracks and were laying right there. They were both on a trail that I never knew existed until I recovered them. Now I was however scratched up really bad and pulled briars out of tail for several days. It was worth every bit of work!
