They probably won't replant until January or February. They thing you've got to watch for is that they new trend is to row the property before planting. Think three foot rows from trough to top. Makes it all but impossible to go across them

Not everyone does this (rows).

I've had the pleasure of having the same lease for 30 years. I've seen it all in big timber, clearcuts, select cuts, burned, and everything in between. Our place is pretty big, and about once every 3 years or so there is a logging operation going on during hunting season somewhere on the property. I've killed deer in sight of the loggers on numerous occasions. One year I killed bucks on consecutive evenings sitting on a pile of logs the loggers had just left 15 minutes prior. Logging doesn't spook deer or push them to be nocturnal near as much as hunters driving 4-wheelers to stands or hunting the same stands over corn piles every day.

Although, a cutting timber during turkey season can cause a flock of turkeys to pick up and move and not come back. I've seen this several times.
