Growing up in Eastern Kentucky our best hunting was about two years after they'd clear cut up in the Daniel boone national forest. I honestly don't think the logging had a major role in lack of deer as much as it was the lack of mast crop and tons of standing corn. There's still a large amount of corn still standing nearby. Our corn did have a fly in of turnips and rye to break up the hard pan. Late late season may bring a lot of deer back.

It was nice sitting here drinking that hot cup of coffee this morning looking outside knowing I wasn't freezing to death
