Is it worth hunting this late? I wonder if bucks will chase does all thru this clearcut because I can see 300 to 500 yards

The bright side is now it should get planted with long leaf pines, thanks to State of Alabama and NRCS.

we have them on our property and I've had folks collect the acorns in the fall and either sprig a bunch in coke bottles or plant the acorns directly.

Wow! I've never seen a clear cut cleaned up that good. I agree, they made a parking lot out of that place.

Why plant sawtooth? Are you planning on hunting over them Sept. 1st?

I wouldn't waste my time on it. I'd hunt inside the woodline.

Dang, forget hunting. What kind of logging crew does work like that? I've never seen anything quite like that. What did it look like before?

it was 15 year old natural growth, so thick I never knew the terrain was this rolling.

no kidding, bulldozed clear and graded, lol.

Lots of potential to recreate into good hunting tract - funnels and pinch points with large plots.

That is awesome! I'm sure there's no money in fuel wood though. Right?

I'd sit near any pinch point where they can cut the field and avoid crossing the wide spots. Like that point in the treeline, that's almost behind the tree in upper left.

This property belongs to my FIL. He bought it from one of my cousins on other side of family. He had a CD maturing and needed something to invest in. The fuel wood actually fetched him about a grand and bonus was the clearing of property. Timber Company plans to spray in spring, then burn and plant next fall but don't see how the fire will spread because of the job that was done. Wonder if hand planting this 40 acres by myself would be cheaper, because he said to treat property and replant is about $10k, state picks up 75% and our cost would be 2-3k.

Just a thought but I understand the State will pick up more for longleaf, at least they were. Somebody with more knowledge than me about it could tell you.

Find a draw, a swag, a pinch point between heads of woods, some kind of funnel, and you will likely see deer. If they're still chasing you'll see a buck.

Easy to find tracks following hard rain. I bet they'll travel the same routes they did before it was cut. Find the trails and gps them so in 5 or 10 yrs you'll know exactly where to set up.

Chasing or not they use pinch points or draws to travel safely.
They should already be cruising.

Wish my loggers would have cleaned up that nice. Ours looked like a bomb went off and just blew the limbs off the tree when they left. But to answer your question watch the tree line with binos.
