[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5120050, member: 17"] I haven't seen them. But as long as enough area is clear-cut, so the existing deer density cannot eat away all the oak stump sprouts, then I'm not too worried. But I have to admit, I'm suggesting clear-cutting less and less frequently. I prefer thinnings, even fairly heavy thinnings. In my opinion, the perfect timber harvest for wildlife is just the red and white oaks 10" and under DBH left standing, and virtually NOTHING else. This provides maximum sunlight on the ground but leaves acorn bearing oaks standing to repopulate through acorn production. Usually, a good acorn year can produce so many oak seedlings the following growing season that deer cannot eat them all. [/QUOTE]
