MN DNR under scrutiny for WMA logging

I grew up hunting Mille Lacs WMA which is referenced in the article. It always seemed like the regrowth in recently logged areas was great habitat for deer and grouse, and didn't seem to be done excessively.

I’ve seen this mentioned over the past year but never a detailed description of why the harvests were or weren’t beneficial.

My hunting land is close to the Mille lacs wma and I don’t have enough time to cut all the trees I want to for habitat improvement!
