I am going to do some TSI (timber stand improvement) and some DBC (just came up with this- Deer Bedding Creation) in seOH. I have some not good for much species like Gum, Ironwood, Beech, Sycamore, and a bunch of Locust, Hickory, Cherry , mixed in with the Red, White and Black Oaks. The area is closed canopy, needs a cut to get some sunlight to the floor. I even have portions were the oaks (including Whites) are so dense that I will fell some because theyre choking each other out. I do want a healthy woods but my number one focus is bumping deer bedding and browse. I also know better than think 30ac of woods will be a retirement egg....so i rather have the hunting fun now.
Do you guys fell or hinge Locust, Hickory and Cherry species as part of your TSI? What others do you target (IE- Elm, Poplar...)?
