Too many people are misinformed about clear cutting, Clearcutting is a valuable silvicultural practice that i think is not utilized enough. It upsets me how everyone is always preaching select cutting. Define select cutting, because 90% of the time people's definition of selecte cutting is a diameter limit harvest which does 100% more damage to a forest ecosystem than does a clear cut. As far as it hurting your hunting it may for a little bit , but it should turn it into a deer paradise. Also i wouldn't advise vandalising any equipment those loggers need to make a living too.
On my property select cutting was cutting the maples, poplars, and dead limbed, leaners. Leaving as many big oaks up by themselves as possible. Had all roads and skidrows fertilized and seeded with wildlife mix. Looking forward to a productive year this year. Hope yours is good too.
