Ok fellas. Took my bike, jumped the gate and went for a jont on down to my proposed hunting area. it is about 1.3 miles in and down on a logging road. It is a GIANT clear cut area with about, I don't really know, 5-6 years of growth on it. There is a small pond in the middle with an open space about 100ft between the road and pond. There is new growth in there but still pretty open. There is a section separated from the road on the north side with 8-10 ft trees and blackberries with obvious game trails leading from there into the open area by the pond. I mean tons of trails. Didn't wander down them yet and didn't want to disturb them but there are good perches where I have basically an unobstructed 180 degree shooting lane. There is a lot of bear scat on the road so here is my question. If it is an active bear area, will there still be deer around? Looks pretty fresh and I am also not allowed to take a bear. What are your guys' opinions?
