cutting lower brush to open view up and pushing deer away
i have been thinking about cutting out some lower brush to open up my field of view and shooting distance. and i got the OK from the land owner
I had planed to do this with a hand saw but there is alot more i could get with a chainsaw there are a few trees that are thick but only growing on the ground almost like a pine brush do to either breaking or to much over head growth
if i go in with a chainsaw will it push the deer away? if so how long will they come back or not ? should i just use a handsaw

if they are not at all accustomed to many chainsaws in the woods...maybea fewdays. Chances are they though hear saws all the time and you could hunt it ina day ortwoand have no problem.

I wouldn't be so concerned about the chainsaw disturbing deer but rather the amount of brush you remove. It's ok to dobefore season but during it can sure change their pattern for a fact if you cut too much. I'd just take a good limb saw and trim a few lanes and be done. Plus, the better you can see the deer, the better they can see you.
