Well there is a downside to logging, it concentrates the game especially during the winter, making it much easier for wolves. 

In my experience clearcuts and other big openings are not the prime feeding areas in mid winter with large amounts of snow. Deer will hang in the timber where the snow is shallower because of the canopy of the forest. Easier to get around and easier to find food. Out in the open the snow stacks up and covers food sources. Also more thermal protection under the canopy than out in the open.

Want to see what I'm talking about?  Go snowshoe in some fresh logging areas and check it out.   Its a slaughter fest.

The more thinning the better. The wolves are the wdfw fault not logging
