Logging, and Hunting.

Personally, I don't see mature bucks change anything but their movement times around a lot of human non-hunting activity. They just moved at night.

Thanks

Yes hunt every chance you get. I've seen many mature bucks from the seat of a skidder

Thanks

When we had land logged in the past, we made sure to get the skid trails seeded really good so they turned into nice greenways...

What did you seed it with? Thanks

We just used a contractor blend that would work in SW Pennsylvania..

I suggest, if possible, be there before daylight before they begin working. Of course hunt normal areas that you would hunt. When they begin working it can act as a drive.

Marshall ryegrass. Quick germination and will grow on even the crappiest soils.

There's nothing like actual observation and experience. Seen it, done it, witnessed it type experience. After 7mo of a large scale thinning operation I'm 100% convinced of a negative immediate effect on deer and hunting. Will it improve habitat and is it healthy for the residual stand…absolutely. But the impact is crystal clear…this year looks nothing like last years hunting and camera data.
