Starting the 2nd year on ours. Last year sucked. As they cut the first section, nothing came up because of the drought. One thing for sure, the first few years are going to be very cold because of the wind. I wasn't prepared for hunting in Kansas. Lol

If they don't poison it there will be a ton of browse for the deer. You will be surprised to see they still use the draws and low spots to walk. I've seen them bed in sunny spots on the ridges. Nobody hated it more than me, adapt and you can still kill them. Hunt safe

Now this I believe. We are supposed to have 175 acres sprayed next week. I will have lots of questions from our braintrust later.

First year you'll get rare deer sightings. The next couple it will be a magnet for them until the stuff is too tall to hunt. Then it will hold a ton of deer but you can only hunt the edges as it will generally be too thick to be hunt it effectively in the interior. Some of our best hunting though, is on the edges when it is super thick.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I love clear cuts...especially during the rut. Even new clear cuts ive shot bucks crossing during the rut. After the first year it just keeps getting better too.
just my opinion though.

It'll be the best hunting you got! /thread I'd rather hunt 10 acres of cutover than 100 acres of hardwoods.

Depends on whether or not the clearcut is sprayed as well as how it was cut. The club I'm in had several hundred acres clearcut this year so far. I think they're still cutting some. So far nothing has been sprayed. There's a still a lot of brush and a few hardwoods standing. Fortunate for us it's not parking lot cleared. Debris is everywhere and the deer are bedding & traveling it now. It's hard hunting. Get a good pair of binocs. You'll need them.
I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

I've always hated hunting a fresh clear cut but I've got a killer bow spot that's an island of mature hardwood trees in the middle of an old cutover it's a several hundred yard walk thru head high crap but once you get there its a little oasis
We will burn that bridge when we get there

It'll be the best hunting you got! About 125 acres of our 500 total was clearcut during bow season last year. We saw more deer overall and more quality deer than the last 5 seasons. They way ours was cut seemed to bunch the deer in the remaining woods/trees that were remaining. The 125 acres was sprayed about 3 weeks ago and we are waiting for the burning then planting any time now.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

It'll be the best hunting you got! Look for a lot of tracks where they come in and out of the cutover...figure out the predominate wind for it and put you a good. comfortable. and concealed stand up on the edge of it preferably where you can cover a lot of of ground cause the first few years will be jam up...Happy Hunting...

And for the long haul pick you out a nice stand spot(wind & other factors). Then make you a road wide or wider long lane ( few hundred yards if you can) & keep it sprayed knocked down or what have you every year. It just might be one of your best spots from year 3 to 10 or more!!

They are suppose to cut this winter. It's all one big sections. We broke up the place in 10,20, and 30 acre clearcuts and leave in between areas forested. We will spray late next summer and plant next winter Either way I would see if they would let y'all keep some clean lanes like that in them.

Hunted a piece for the last 12 years that had a new section cut nearly every year. Like someone said above, the deer will actually continue to use the same draws and ridges that they have always travelled for the first few months. Almost out of habit. From what Ive seen they continue to do this until they feel pressured, then they will alter their travel ( like with any pressure I suppose).
