Creating Better Habitat (Better Deer Woods) Using TSI | Beneath The Canopy

Shawn Luchtel of Heartland Bowhunter and Joel Taylor of the Midwest Land Group perform Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) on Shawn's 80-acre tract of land. Follow along as they use the onX Hunt App's aerial imagery and Shape Tool to determine the areas with the thickest canopy and create a plan to thin out the softwoods on Shawn's new parcel. In doing so, they not only create better browse for Deer and native habitat for all wildlife but also increase the value of the property. TSI creates more food for wildlife by allowing more light to reach the forest floor, as well as eliminating competition for hardwoods such as oak and hickory.

Man it's tuff with a timber property. Mine is all soft wood so no one wants to log it. It's difficult to get enough timber down to let sun in with out making an absolute mess.

Have you had any look at your property to consult Habitat Improvements?

After 6 years I
I have it 80 percent done. But if I was to do it over I would buy a fallow field or thicket instead. I did as much cutting cleaning up so the dear could get thru as I did tsi. Lol
