Part of hunting is being close to nature. It's what hunters want. If hunting were illegal, which will never happen in my lifetime thank God, I would still be managing my land for optimum use both for the trees and wildlife. As to erosion this isn't my field of expertise either. I will say this, in my area the underside of the forest is tangled mess of stuff waiting to grow once the canopy is removed. They clear cut all of the big ridges over by Deepwood Ski area and that areas soil is almost blow sand. I was quite concerned about erosion but it didn't happen. Enough stuff is left around, tops, etc that water doesn't get the chance to run straight down the hill and the hillside was green the following spring with small vegetation that would prevent any further erosion. That was 5/6 years ago now and you have a softwood forest there now with trees about 15' tall or so. Still quite dense but another 5 years or so it will be a forest to walk around in again. Amazing actually.
