Here the issue is moreso urban sprawl and invasive buckthorn taking out many nice wood lots.
In my area, I haven't noticed many cases of what you are referring to. That's interesting.

sounds like ya had a good run of free hunting but times change and what the people payin the bills do with the land should be none of your concern.

We lost some family ground on one side with the passing of my late grandmother. Was some of the best bobcat trapping and there were always bucks hiding there when everything around it got pushed hard. She didn't want any tussles between the family so what was left went for auction and cash split three ways. Made life easier. First thing they did was take out every tree, bush, or pile they could find. It's all farm ground now. I had a chance to bid on it but didn't. So I have accepted I have no right to question what they do with it.

Trees don't pay taxes or land payments! Unless it is leased for $$$ for hunting. I understand the feelings though. I prefer woods myself. We are in the process of cleaning up the family farm now. Sold the house we grew up in, a young farmer is moving it onto a new basement and remodeling it for his family home. All the buildings down, trees cleared, and it will be farmed by my Brother In Law. The pond and an area around it will be preserved.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

A few years ago my Brother In Law was at home and a vehicle with New York plates came down the driveway. They got out and started talking about seeking a place for deer hunting. Brother In Law told them to get back in their car and leave. They pulled out their checkbook and waved it in the air. Today they are good friends, they have access to a 2-story farm house, he leaves a few rows of crops standing for the deer, they leave a Suburban in Nebraska for Brother In Law and my Sister to drive around. I don't know what they pay, but they certainly got his attention. Money talks.

when you drive from couth central WI into north central IL you often notice 3 things other than the road signs changing
1 every field is 2x the size or better
2 almost no field rows at all ,some drainage ditches but not much for fence lines or narrow wooded spaces all cut down to fit more corn in.
3. houses spread much further apart and often just the house at the farm not a farm with 2-3 houses with it like in WI where many farms are multi generational
we are starting to see a little more of the clearing of fence rows and such here but not to the extent we see to the south
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
