- Matt Dye and Adam Keith of Land & Legacy lay out their top 3 tips for timber stand improvement on your property. If there is timber on your property, it almost certainly needs some kind of TSI, many landowners incorrectly implement, don't maintain or completely overlook TSI on their properties. Matt and Adam show us their approach to successfully implementing TSI.

Whoever thought of having Matt and Adam make some videos for WP - well done! I keep waiting for more of these types of videos. Great information!
We are very excited to be teamed up with Matt and Adam, and we look forward to bringing everyone more great content!
Great tips for fine tuning specific results.
Excellent video. Liked the historical forest ecosystem objectives, how you’ll employ prescribed fire and take out invasive species.
i am enjoying your guys videos! thank you for posting!
Thanks for watching!
I never thought about the cedars being such a hot fuel source. I gotta gut about a hundred of them from my spot so I guess I better make sure I get them all out first. Thanks for the tip
Glad you found it helpful!
In mature oak forests, doesn't it make sense to cut oaks instead of girdling them so that sprouts from the stump are available for deer in the winter months? Girdling would kill the tree and the potential for sprouts.
Yes in certain circumstances. It just depends on the site and your objectives for it.
@@Whitetail_Properties Thanks. I live on 120 acres of mature hardwoods (85% red and white oaks per forester survey) and I will be cutting for plots, trails, and bedding. Right now, there's virtually no food (or deer) because of the severely closed canopy and lack of forbs and browse. There's been no logging for probably 50 years and it's a veritable food desert.
@@MrRABland Sounds like you should have some good mast production. But yes opening the canopy and releasing some of the better mast producers through crop tree release is definitely a step in the right direction. You could implement some bedding cuts as well. Follow all that up with prescribed fire and undoubtedly you should have some deer! Our habitat management and TSI playlist have some excellent videos that would certainly help!
@@MrRABland Depending on the quality of the trees, you could possibly have a logging crew come in and help you with the canopy reduction, while offsetting some of the cost for your other improvements.
Why would you want to burn all the treetops and clutter. Isnt that cover for deer rabbits squirrels etc...
I believe the goal is to burn once the cover gets to high to reset it back to the ground
Remember managing for trees (oaks n hickories) is not managing for deer!! Big difference!!!
It’s not as far apart as you may believe. We’re managing for both (healthy wildlife, especially deer and healthy forests) follow along and we’ll be sharing more on that.
You are right Pat.
Wildlife like deer, rabbits, etc. like those exact invasives that grow when removing or hinge cutting some but not all, of the oaks and hickories. Excellent browse and cover for them.
@@douglasschuenemannjr.3728 Deer are foragers, they do not want to eat the same thing everyday. Their diet needs to be mixed. The invasives are too competitive and create monocultures in your forests. Never promote these for whitetail deer management please.
Yea that's great and all however the problem with all u tsi guys is you show a pic of dead middle of winter do a burn and then show how it looks in the summer when everything is already growing at full speed anyway for deer specifically all the Forbes and forage from a burn is gone and dead by the time deer season hits
Some of the herbaceous browse will be gone by deer season, correct. But the woody browse is still there and it's a big part of what deer rely on in the winter.
The goal is to feed and hold more deer year round. By implementing TSI your deer won't have to go to your neighbors everyday looking for food to survive. They can make a living raising their fawns on your property. Which will make your hunting better in the long run.
@@usernamehere6061 to each their own however most properties are not large enough to hold deer all yearlong as thy eat different things at different times of the year. I follow Sturgis method no summer food means no doe factory I have small plots and can't afford to have does push bucks out of the plots cause they are territorial of food
@@dennybirchfield Sure. I may have misspoke as well, I didn't mean you would hold a deer all year. More so meant you would have more filtering into your property on a regular basis if they have food where they have bedding. Natural succession beats a food plot all day.
