Yeah - I'll leave it to @cartman whether he wants to post aerials as it's his spot. To me it looked pretty clean and planted a couple of years back. Could be good but would depend on weapon and on the ground details. There's limited edge remaining, and mostly I got a much different impression from aerial than the posted topo. There may be just enough cover along the points/bank to give some great spots...or not.Those clear-cuts can be good if the tops are still laying and have food, especially during the rut. I've had good luck hunting them up here when they cut the oaks and all the acorns are in the tops on the ground.
It's tough to tell that from the air though, boots on the ground would show what was cut and the sign.
Another thing I have noticed around my area is the arials are not always up to date.Yeah - I'll leave it to @cartman whether he wants to post aerials as it's his spot.

Yeah it's often not clear dating photos.Another thing I have noticed around my area is the arials are not always up to date.
I have gone into areas that I thought were recently cleared that have 5ft tall pines growing and I have gone to areas I thought were wooded that were recently clear cut.
The land is owned by the local power company so I am sure they manage the timber for profit.
I am happy that they at least open the land up for hunting.
