How To Become A Deer Habitat And Hunting Consultant

So you want to become a deer habitat consultant? Whitetail habitat consultants are a dime a dozen because, most never master the level of proven hunting skill and success first, to actually be able to quit their day job. Here is a glimpse into my professional life, for what it has taken to rise to the top of the deer habitat consultant industry. If you want to become a true deer habitat consultant, you need to watch this video and proceed into the hunting industry with your eyes wide open...

As a 2017 client of Jeff’s my 80 acre parcel is proof that his teachings work very well. I have completed 99% of the work that he had implemented and it’s has paid off tremendously. We bought our property in 09 and I was focused on trying to harvest mature deer. In the first seven years we struggled with nocturnal bucks and after that 12 hour day we spent with Jeff in February of 2017 we have now harvested 5 mature bucks and have had a massive increase in day time activity. I look forward to every single new piece of content like a kid a Christmas. Thanks for sharing the knowledge you have Jeff it has made our hunting so much more enjoyable knowing we are now doing things the right way!

If I’m not doing that I’m watching shows like yours to give me ideas on how to improve my land.

[@allentodd5436]

Thanks for all the videos Jeff. I know I mentioned a while back about me voting for you for president but I credit alot of what Ive learned from you and your vids. This was my 2nd year back bowhunting and I got my first mature Georgia buck with a bow. Ive learned alot and im pleased that a friend I hunt with asked me to check out 32 acres he was considering buying. Needless to say we found 5 scrapes in 15 minutes and the track had a ton of diversity with bedding and feeding. My friend bought it and has seen nice mature bucks on camera. He now wants my advice on setting up stands. I laugh because Im not anything close to you but it makes me feel good to put some of your knowledge to good use!! Be blessed and thanks for being a blessing!

Don't have to reply but I was one of the many guys that asked on trail cameras and having deer lick my cameras I did what you said and put them at least 5' in a tree and higher if there's a log near by.

[@woodsdog7849]

I really like your honesty and approach. This video was so informative on many levels. The part where you were approached by an essentially non-hunting potential competitor with a PhD in Wildlife Management...... priceless. I would never hire a consultant who wasn't a hunter first and foremost. I started bowhunting when you did, my father was a gun hunter but nobody in my family was a bowhunter. I was blessed to have gotten a bow from my parents for Christmas too and I had a 7th grade science teacher who helped me and a buddy get started. Not really any bow shops so we learned to tune our bows through a lot of trial and error. I think I read every bowhunting magazine back in the day. Great content and I agree, you are blessed! Thank you for sharing the blessings of your knowledge with the rest of us. Can't wait for your webinars. I have had some decent success as a hunter but am closing in on retirement and want to up my game and challenge and opportunities for more big bucks every year by hunting for large bucks on public land in a few states rather than just my own. I think the ultimate challenge is going in somewhat cold to a new area and trying to figure things out to harvest a nice buck. Webinars with that in mind would really pique my interest!!!

[@michaellewis7117]

Sounds like a busy life. A lesson in planning and organization. At least you set your goals and make them happen. Reminds me of Jim Shockey when he starts his show by saying "so you want a job in the hunting industry" Just like your job...not as easy as most people think. Thanks again.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

You are very welcome Michael 👍 I am truly blessed...and this is my day job ☺️ I have been able to take some steps to free up time and expand at the same time this year...it just takes a decade of really grinding, and a person can make just about anything in life happen.

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Id be interested to know the feedback you get a few years down the road once your recommendations are put into use by clients.

Oh it is awesome Michael...it is typically instant, the first year. If I do my job and the client does theirs, this isn't something that should take a few years...usually the first season.

Great information. I have owned and sold two successful environmental consulting businesses and now manage at a state agency. It's hard to explain why it costs so much to exist. My example to staff was if you lose a $10 hammer and you only make 10% net profit on your consulting, you need $100 worth of income to replace it; therefore if you want to make $100,000 you need to have $1,000,000 in gross income. Of course if you work from home, you may be able to make 20% profit. It requires extreme discipline to be successful at your level. Good clients and good insurance are also important. I recommend not quitting your day job until you really know what you are doing and have built a client base. That means working two jobs until you reach that point. This video was a real service to those interested in this profession. I hope they take your advice.

[@NorthEastHunter27]

Forgive me if my questions has been asked before or touched upon Iv watched a lot if your videos I love the content but I’m sure Iv missed some. Public land hunting. Harassment and gear being stolen. Im hunting an area that’s 300 acres maybe it’s mostly public but 60 or so is private. The hardest hit area has access via a power line road (easement). It’s all private property but everyone rips the signs down and does what ever they want. The land ownership has just changed and they aren’t active with the land at all they aren’t going to post it I’m sure. I’m expecting things to get worse. Most people don’t know how or can’t access the other half it’s to hard to get to no place to park. I can walk there from my house and walk in off a main road. It’s a small sliver of land between two houses then it opens up an acre or so back to the full public 300ish acres. Lots of swamp in the middle so you can really travel between the two sides of the 300. I’m hunting this side for the first time this year. I’m already getting a lot if side eye walking in from neighbors. One of the neighbors kids starts screaming at me for no reason just walking out on a Sunday.... Iv had a lot of year stolen over the years off land where I had private access to land locked public land etc. I’m afraid the kids or neighbors are gunna rip a stand down steal my cameras etc. I’m not going to say ok I guess I can’t hunt where I live because my stuff gets stolen better go some place else. Should I talk to the neighbors drop a note in their mail Box hey this is who I am I live down there street we have never met I’m legally bow hunting out here this is my contact into call me with any concerns? Or call environmental and be like hey I’m already being harassed over here to get it on record? I’m also trying to keep the access hush hush lol do you have better security options? Like hide the cameras in a certain way lock the stands? I also own a small business in town I really need to be delicate with how I respond to any issues i see this year.

Similar to his "10 Advanced Food Plot Tips for Quality Whitetail Herds". The screen would only have to be as large as the whiteboard to be effective. Either way, big fan of the whiteboard.

Is flying to Austin TX too far out of the way? Property is a 45 drive from airport

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Benjamin, no it is not. I have not been to TX...OK a few times...Arkansas...but never to TX. Would be awesome to travel down your way. I leave early on day #1, and then fly back late on day #3.

You Never did answer my question I left on the micro hunting video 5 days ago.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Unfortunately I get busy...depending on how long they are, I answer the shortest ones first. I then move on to the next video. Wish I had more time! Not saying you are...but some think they are entitled to answer their questions. At some point if folks expect it too much...I won't answer any at all ☺️

[@thebluecollarbowhunter360]

Whitetail Habitat Solutions I understand and I’m sure you get, well you said it 10,000 comments and it question. Definitely tough to answer everyone. I just found it funny how you we’re expressing your routine and talking about answering comments etc. I don’t think people feel entitled to get an answer I think they are intrigued to be able to reach out to a industry expert. This platform makes that happen, but if you feel it’s entitlement then so be it to each their own.

Jeff, i've found that a professional is someone that gets payed for what they do it doesn't mean they are good at it., that goes for doctors ,lawyers, car mechanics right on down the line ,You a professional yes but an expert as well!!!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks Tex... great perspective! Kind of like a professional ball player...they didn't go to school for it 😉

Sounds like Jeff has a tendency to be a perfectionist. Learn to take it easy on yourself.

I hunt about a 2 acre area that full of deer but I'm not sure where to put my blind. I use corn feed. It's right on a stream. I would just like some tips.
