In managed blocks with the proper stream buffers it is OK. One problem we have in the south is that huge tracts get cut all at once and there is incomplete mixing of various growth phases. We end up with loblolly pine mono culture planted in dense stands. Little to nothing but pine needles underneath after about 7-10 years. Due to the deflated price of pulp wood these stands don't get managed properly due to cost and are seldom thinned these days.
I'm all for timber managent done properly.

It is good, tender green stuff deer like to eat sprouts and at the right height for them to get to. As said before, if it's done right. Back around the turn of the century the Ozarks was raped of its timber. Tremendous amount of soil erosion occured.
