How long would you wait to....

....hunt your ground blind after using a chain saw near it. I really needed a couple of downed cedars for fence posts today. Its heavily used by deer and is one of just three areas that I know of that they've been traveling. I used this opportunity to shore up my blind with the cedar limbs, cut a few more shooting lanes and hopefully created a couple of funnels. I chainsawed some small stuff over an area thats probably 50 yds. in diameter in front of my blind. was raining today and looks like will rain again tomorrow, I haven't seen the forecast though. Also, the day before I spooked several deer walking to my blind and then had one scent me while there. I know its late in the season but I really didn't alter the area as bad as it sounds however, but just am curious what ya'll would do, a day? a week? or might as well forget about that spot.... Phil

If the deer are like the ones in my part of the world, I'd use it whenever. There's alot of timbering around, they don't seem to pay much attention to chainsaws. On the other hand, if its not an usual activity, I'd give it a couple days. Not much help, I know, but the best I can offer.

I'd go the that night or the next morning. I jumped quite a few deer walking out of an area that was logged while I was in for a evening hunt. Came through the next morning and be darned if I did'nt jump a half dozen more. Talked to the loggers on the way out and they said they've almost hit deer falling tres. It seems they like to eat the tips of the branches

After taking wind into consideration and length of season remaining, the best time to hunt is as soon as you can.

I was a logger up in Idaho for several years, All KINDS of activity on the landing everyday, that never stopped the deer and elk from coming in to check things out or get in there way.

Heck its winter, up here in the north, I have seen deer come in to chainsaw noise cause they know there is cedar or tree buds for the eating. I don't think I would worry at all about it.

A buddy of mine cut down a little cedar to use for cover on one of his stands. He left it laying pretty close to his treestand and told me when he came back to hunt the deer had eaten most of the cedar by the next day.
Go hunting they might be eaten your blind

I do brows cut with the State Game Comm. and the deer will be in the cuts the same night eating the fresh brows brought down to ground level.
