re: do you like hunting over a, new cutover? updated 11-28-12 (pics)

Definitely hunt the edges about 25 yards inside standing timber if you have any. Deer will tear that area up, especially if you can find a trail they are using to get from bedding to the clearcut to feed at night. The bucks will stage up just inside the woods before dark and wait until dark to go out into the open clearcut. Like someone else said, the rut is your best bet. A year from now, you can hunt directly over the clear cut with better results.
