I was wondering how long would it take for trees that have been runged (sp?) with a chainsaw to start falling down and providing good cover for deer?
On the last morning of bow season before shotgun I took off work and decided I was going to hunt this public that always looked great but it was about a 1.5mile walk. All I had was a GPS waypoint and a vision of the popular tree I was going to hunt after spying it during shed season the last two years.
Anyways I get up to the ridge and to my suprise over 75 trees had been runged with a chainsaw and the only ones standing were two oaks and a some really small trees. The tree I was going to hunt actually was completely cut down. Talk about bad luck. This is a wide open ridge now, but I am hoping it will thicken up once these trees start falling. I actually think it is going to be dynamite, but was just wondering how long you thought it would take? Its a good spot regardless, just will be better.
