So the property(135 acres) I lease was clear cut two yrs ago, since then the deer population has decreased significantly; to make things worse, the neighboring property(300 acres) was just clear cut as well, now throw in the drought and the landowner having the lease sprayed there is very little natural browse and the plots look pathetic. Prior to all of this it was not uncommon to have 3-6 decent bucks on trail camera, the last two years it’s been1-2 at best. How long does it take for the clear cut to grow enough that the deer start returning?
