Thread: Effect of logging on animal numbers in forestry blocks

Hi team,

I went for a walk today to a forestry block that was logged in 2018 and 2019.
It was the most open country I've ever hunted in. Most of my previous hunting has been in tight bush. I was actually really looking forward to doing some longer range hunting.

However there wasn't a single animal to be seen. I thought 2 to 3 years would be plenty of time for the animals to come back after logging. Recent hunts in nearby blocks that weren't logged have been successful every single time.

For those of you that hunt in forestry blocks, do you find the animal numbers tend to be higher when the trees haven't been logged?
