Tsi vs fsi

[dreambig@84]

Watched a video in tsi vs fsi and how to properly set up access along property line for treestands.

I might of made the mistake of dropping all the trees along the property border to try and thicken the property lines up to keep neighbors from spooking and shooting the deer on my land.
Whats the best protocol for setting up acesss along border of property borders in timber. Should I go back where I made it thick along fencelines and spray a path and plant trees for access on both sides of walking path or just cut a path through thick stuff on fence line. I'm concerned I made it too thick and might be bumping deer walking to stands in timber.

Based on what I watch on fsi and tsi ,tsi should be along access borders and cut trees 20 inches and bigger. Fsi is 14 inches and above ad should be for internal bedding.

Interested to learn more on all this

Are you my neighbor?! So my neighbor did this exact thing- alllll the deer use it because it “created cover”!! So now there is a treestand about 45 ish yards from my kids playset because that’s what he learned.
I’ve told him multiple times he could access using my piece as long as he let me know he was there- he never does as he doesn’t want me to know he’s there (I can see half of his stands from my property).
I’d never intentionally thicken a property line for that exact reason- you are only creating more bedding/cover where you don’t necessarily want them in my opinion. I can walk through the yard and the deer don’t budge, he can pull into the driveway next to mine and they instantly get up and are moving to my other side.
But I will be interested to hear others takes too.

No playsets near where I hunt.

It depends if your neighbor has a stand 8 feet from the line.. I thickened it up by his stand so he could not shoot into my property—he had previously cut shooting lanes on mine (before I owned the land).

I don’t know for sure if he’s shooting in the mine now, but he sure sits there a lot. No matter what which wind.

That's why I cut the property like I did. All the atv's and nature walkers are messing up the hunting and I want a thick place for the deer to duck into and feel secure when they are bumped allways deeming my place as a "sanctuary". Also lots of gun hunters that snipe deer on my lines I want to try and prevent. So basically my thought process is I can cut the edge and make it thick in addition to cutting trails through it to access stand during prime time.

@Hardwood11 what would you do in my situation?

 

[Hardwood11]

I’d keep if nasty and thick …but guys like Skip & IAbowhunter1983 might have a better feel for this situation.

Will do. Thanks

You can see red line is my property boundaries and gray is road to south and yellow dotted line on east is the access I'm working on improving.
Thought if I improved property borders and access I could hunt farther back in property during prime time
