B.C. has some very good and recent data on this matter.

Yes they do, if they are clearing it. Once cleared the ungulates feed on it all day long. I can spend a day pounding dense bush or waiting and see a hand full of animals or I can sit on the edge of farm land and see dozens of animals congregating on the easy feed.
Much like hunting a burn after a forest fire. It’s funny once all the trees are gone the grasses really take off and the ungulates flock to those areas. The BC university may disagree with my conclusions but I’ve never had an empty freezer using these methods for hunting.
