I mean I very well could be missing something and need to go back over it with a fine tooth comb. Someone with fresher memory feel free to set the record straight...
I'm not really concerned about the date. I just found this reasoning by the elves of Ossiriand interesting. The disrespect that band of Men had for the trees and other plant life of the forest I totally get as far as reasons for annoyance and distrust on the part of the elves go.
But naming their hunting as the other reason doesn't really stack up if the Ossi elves don't seem to take issue with other hunting going on in their lands.Is it that men hunted with less grace and more cruelty?
