Do we avoid mapping hunting stands?

That is one way to read that sentence. Another interpretation is that we should map them so animal lovers can more easily find and destroy them systematically.

… could surely be a reason to go ahead

Not that I see much use in such militant actions; many hunting stands here are used by e.g. birdwatchers and tourists and not for actual animal killing …

The main purpose of these stands is hunting for sure. They cost some money (plus effort to put them up) which no hunter would spend to primarily provide a nice place for birdwatching or private rendezvous.

Anyway the idea of noting the issue is not really all that ridiculous IMHO, as we for example note caveats about mapping Tag:natural=birds_nest - OpenStreetMap Wiki also due to concerns of criminal activities (e.g. poaching of endangered species) and related issues.

There are some voluntarily mapping restrictions to protect endagered species or people needing special protection - you don’t want to compare such objects to a hunting stand, do you?
