It did. They took most everything for fuel wood, there wasn't much timber except a few loads each of pines and hardwood.

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

The bright side is now it should get planted with sawtooths, a big new food plot sized to my liking and some 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.

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

They did a good job! Almost looks like they graded it for you!! Haha 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? Talk about starting with a blank slate!

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.

That is awesome! I'm sure there's no money in fuel wood though. Right? Talk about starting with a blank slate! 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. they haven't started chasing yet.

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.
Workin for the man, huntin when I can.
