The key to success in a deer property timber harvest is you must schedule the improvements in a huntabale fashion.  You have to be able to get past those prime bedding areas without spooking the deer, and you have to make sure that bed to feed and rut timed stands are in areas you can access hunt and exit with different winds.  Cutting your timber will  bring the deer for a number of years, but one constant will remain – if you can’t hunt the improvements without spooking the deer, your hunting will suffer.
