The mapper - as usual.

Same as I would judge anything else - from the available evidence.

I would use the following combination;

landuse=hunting
landcover=trees
natural=wood (I too don't 'like' this and for that reason I tend to dual 
tag with the landcover=trees tag. However natural=wood is 'widely 
accepted', just not by some)

If the area were primarily used for the production of tees and/or their 
products with hunting as another use I would use the following combination;

landuse=forest
hunting=yes (or permissive etc)

-------------------
To me landuse=forest is only for areas where trees are grown for the 
production of products from those trees e.g. lumber, wood pulp, oils, 
rubber, maple syrup
