Finding Great Hunting Opportunities

1. Finding Great Hunting Opportunities Hunters all over the world share a certain passion, i.e. to spend time in the open, where they are able to connect with nature, where they have the opportunity to test their skills against their prey. In the American South, in states such as, say, Alabama, Georgia and a few others, hunters arrive year after year in search of that trophy or simply to break away from their normal routine. This region, especially, is known for the white-tailed deer hunts that are popular every year and which hunters from within the region, but also many from out of state, pursue. Finding great hunting opportunities is not always that easy: you have to do your homework and make sure you find the destination that will indeed be the one where you can enjoy a great time, and from where you canleave with good buck. In a state such as, for example, Georgia, whitetail deer are found in many counties, but often on state owned land. So you need to find some good hunting land in private possession. Of course this is possible once you read up about options, either in nature and wildlife magazines, or on the internet. There are thousands of hunters looking for a great opportunity since not everybody owns land or has easy access to someone’s land, and there are more landowners than before looking to make hunting land available to the public. For this reason landowners approach agents, agencies that find them hunters, and the hunters, likewise, are on the lookout for agents that can put them in touch with landowners looking for visitors to their land. Everybody wins: the landowner derives income, the hunter gets to enjoy their passion, and the agency is paid a fee for introducing the parties. This is the easy part. What is often more tricky, is to find good hunting land, land that offers the hunter quality buck and other species which they want to hunt. Even though there are no guarantees, hunters want to know that they are offered great hunting opportunities on those tracts that interest them. This means they need to feel confident about the region and the likelihood that deer and other prey will indeed roam the lands where they are about to hunt. No owner can make a definite promise; however, if their land and animal populations are managed well, there is a good chance that they will stand out above other landowners that do not go to trouble to have good management plans in place. This is where a service such as a wildlife management agency can be invaluable. A consultant with experience in deer management and deer habitat management is the ideal source of information for both the landowner and the hunter. The landowner that employs a good management consultant such as the well-known Westervelt Wildlife company – and other leading services - that operates over vast Southern counties, and who is able to assist the landowner with all important systems that ensure that good management of animal populations and habitat yield great herds, may be doing themselves a great favor. Experienced wildlife management companies employ the services of good wildlife biologists and other professionals that put proper systems in place that will contribute to helping landowners raise good, healthy herds. It has to be mentioned, too, that buck and doe’s with access to good forage and water are more likely to stay in a specific area. And this is exactly what the hunter is after. He/she wants hunting land that is accessible, with a good chance of finding quality deer herds on it. This interaction between habitat and deer populations ensures good herds, while at the same time landowners who employ a good management consultant creates good land for the benefit of the visiting hunter, whether you are after hunting land in Georgia or another southern state.
