I've been involved in timber procurement/management/harvesting for over 34 years and IMHO atimber harvest will definitely help your hunting area. Most mature timber stands do not provide good forage for deer and either a good thinning or clearcut will allow newyoung growth for the deer to feed on. The majority of landowners I encounter have a very poor timber stand management system. I've finally started working with some large acerage landowners that seem to want to start good management systems.
