“Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for Gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither God nor poet; one need only own a good shovel.”

- Aldo Leopold

On-Site Consultation

 

There is no substitute for an on-site evaluation of your property. Before we step foot onto the property, I like to sit down with my clients and discuss their management objectives so we have some well-defined goals for my visit. This is a great opportunity to discuss the multi-use vision you have for your land, or illuminate any shortcomings you may have ran into in the past. During this process we will review pictures, videos, and maps while you tell me any stories you have to help paint the complete picture. After our sit down, it’s time to get our boots muddy and hands dirty as we thoroughly cover of your beloved property. While we survey the property, I will point out areas of opportunity, any areas of concern, as well as note where your property is already thriving. This is a wonderful opportunity to ask questions and for existing landowners, discuss problems you have run into in years past. This collaboration of information will form the foundation of your management plan. No issue is too big or too small, and I am happy to spend as much time as we need on each area of concern. After the on-site visit is complete, I will create a complete habitat management plan to help you reach your properties ecological potential. Your plan will include both short-term and long-term habitat prescription, maps and pictures highlighting food plot recommendations, habitat alterations as well as potential stand placement, camera locations, and access routes. I look forward to meeting with you and visiting your property in the near future!

Remote Consultation

This service was developed as a result of the recent travel restrictions and health concerns associated with the recent COVID outbreak. It includes everything described in the on-site consultation, but instead of meeting in person, we will conduct our “walk-about” the property virtually over the internet utilizing satellite imagery as well as any photographs and videos the property owner wishes to provide. Before we meet virtually for the consultation, we can have a conversation about what areas of the property I would especially like to have pictures or videos of at my disposal for the consultation. This is a safe and economical way to get your property headed on the right track for success!


Invasive Species Treatment

This service is provided for landowners who have developed or inherited land being taken over by these unwanted foreign invaders. An issue I have run into time and time again, is property owners being aware of these invasions, but not having the time to properly address the issues to get them under control. Allow us to free up your mind, as well as your schedule, as we properly treat these unwelcome guests and give our native flora the opportunity to again reign supreme across the landscape.

Deer Population and Age Structure Survey

You would be hard pressed to find a landowner in this current day and age who is not running some sort of trail camera regimen on their property. All of this data is invaluable for the success of properly managing your deer herd, but sadly, much of the data isn’t utilized to its full potential. I will send you an easy-to-do instruction list to collect the data. Once the data is collected, simply email the information to me, and I will take the time to calculate the population density


Food Plot, Tree, Habitat & Pollinator Plantings

Want to reap the benefits of food plots, warm season grasses & pollinator blends, or perhaps a hard or soft mast orchard but don’t have the time to get it all planted? Allow us to do the dirty work for you and sit back and watch the native fauna respond to the new abundant food and cover that has been created! Having your own equipment is wonderful, but we am willing to trailer my equipment within reason whenever necessary. There is an old Chinese proverb that states “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Don’t wait! Having the benefit of numerous working-relationships with local nurseries ensures that we can always find the best root stock or seed blend for your individual geographic needs!

Pre-Purchase Property Evaluation

Few things in life can be simultaneously both exciting as well as daunting as purchasing a property. In what very well could be the single biggest financial decision an individual will make; it is of upmost importance that you enter the marketplace with a clear and precise understanding of what requirements need to be fulfilled by the property. Allow me to assist you on your journey to land ownership by providing an honest, unbiased evaluation of the property. After meeting with my clients to discuss the intended uses of the property, we can begin to tier the “must-haves” from the “can-develop” to the “don’t-wants”. I will prospect each potential property as if it were my own investment giving the client an honest evaluation of where it excels, as well as where it may fall short of the client’s aspirations. Allow my trained eye to be your biggest asset in your hunt for the property of your dreams.
