From custom habitat plans to boots-on-the-ground improvements, we help you create the ultimate hunting experience.
Whitetails gravitate towards parcels with a lot of habitat diversity. Some have this by default and others require our help to provide the local deer herd with everything they need throughout the year. As a landowner, YOU can have a huge influence on the habitat and the way deer use your property. However, by putting habitat improvements in the wrong place you could make the property more difficult to hunt or even hold deer. If you feel that your hunting has plateaued and would like a personal habitat plan created during a one on one visit to your property please contact us! We'd be happy to help. Currently only traveling to Michigan Lower Peninsula Properties.
Having the best habitat in the area will catch the attention of the local deer herd. However, if you don't hunt your property correctly you could turn your deer (especially the bucks) nocturnal, or worse, send them to your neighbors. Knowing when and where to hunt on your land is key! For those who love hunting strategy and the Do It Yourselfers out there that want to take a more hands on approach to setting up your whitetail hunting property, we have something for you! Follow the Habitat / Hunting Strategies on our YouTube Channel where we discuss the exact same methods we practice to have multiple encounters with our target bucks.
Working your land and sitting tree is fun, but walking up to a white belly at the end of a blood trail is why we hunt. There is nothing quite like feeling of excitement and remorse all at the same time. As hunters we know that in order for our freezer to be full of venison, an animal had to give up their life. That decision is never easy. Thankfully their sacrifice provides food for our families and many times the legacy of the whitetail lives on for decades through the mounts and stories passed down generations.

Increase the likelihood of local deer bedding on your property by designing a highly attractive bedding area. Creating an effective bedding site involves more than just cutting down trees—it requires strategic tree felling to provide ample cover while ensuring the area remains accessible. Deer seek a balance of security and freedom of movement. With years of experience in developing bedding areas in high-pressure environments, Jake knows how to strike that balance and create the ideal habitat for deer.
Frustrated with deer wandering randomly through your hunting property? It’s time to establish deer trails or travel corridors. Well-designed deer paths significantly increase the likelihood that deer will follow the routes you intend. However, it’s crucial to avoid making the trails too narrow, as this can cause deer to feel confined and avoid them altogether.
With extensive experience in creating whitetail travel corridors, Jake can help design and implement effective trails to enhance movement on your hunting property. Let him bring his expertise to your land!
Enhance your property with social areas by strategically placing mock scrapes in locations where deer feel comfortable moving during daylight hours. Mock scrapes not only help you monitor your local deer herd but also increase your hunting opportunities by being positioned within comfortable shooting range of a nearby stand. Proper setup is crucial for their success—let Jake take the guesswork out by professionally installing your mock scrapes!
Whitetails need water, and providing it in strategic locations on your property can make a big difference. Installing water holes is an effective way to attract deer, but unlike mock scrapes, they shouldn’t be placed at every stand location. Proper installation is essential to minimize the risk of the water drying up during the hunting season.
With extensive experience installing water holes, Jake can ensure your setup is both effective and long-lasting. Let him help enhance your whitetail property with a professionally installed water hole!
