Cutting a mature tree, let alone an oak, seems like a sin to many hunters.

Many a hunter has placed their deer stand based on the availability of a hot section of forest where the acorns are dropping. More than one hunter has called foul when they see small sections of their favorite woodland logged and resulting brushy areas beginning to grow. Actually, what may be happening is just the opposite.
