I own a small acre forest in east Texas. Since I'm a small guy, I am at the mercy of what is around me. There is a landowner right next to me that has a very large tract......in the thousands of acres. In the past, the big neighbor next door has hunted his land, but it has been all dense forest and river bottom. I enjoyed whatever spillover deer hunting I could get from his large tract.
This last summer the neighbor cleared a large area......I'd guess maybe 400 yards by 600 yards, maybe more. This clearing is 50 to 100 yards through the forest from my property line. They got started a little late, but they planted food plots and set up blinds.
My question is this: In the coming years, will this new tactic by my neighbor help or hurt the deer I see? Will a large cleared field with some food plots support more deer than dense east Texas forest?

Yeah you will get to pop the deer as the come and go into the food plot. Yup, deer come from all over to get food or water. You will have a nice trail through your land going to that big food plot. I think your small acre land just turned into a honey hole
