To my utter disbelief my FIL completely clear cut a heavily trafficked 'primary scrape' area earlier this summer on his property. His excuse, "I wanted to be able to drive my truck all the way to the back of the property."
The last two years since discovering this area I have counted no less than 5 scrapes at a given time, countless tracks, well worn game trails leading to and from, have seen groups of does moving through here, and have witnessed several spikers chasing does. All in this single 60-70 yard stretch.
I've been down there a few times since he clear cut it and have seen absolutely -zero- deer sign where there normally would be tons. I'm wondering if this situation is salvageable. Maybe I could try opening a few mock scrapes near the edge of the clear cut? Find a new hunting spot? Help?
