We Help People Design and Hunt Whitetail Parcels

Designing the Perfect Plan

The WHS Team specializes in designing the hunt, herd and habitat on your land. When we are finished, we can even help you build your dream whitetail parcel. The perfect habitat or hunting improvement isn't actually perfect, unless it fits whithin a balanced and cohesive plan based on your goals, resources, neighbors, herd and habitat conditions. Designing a personal plan that naturally fits each piece of the puzzle together, is what our clients tell us we do best.

Experienced Balance Assessment

Every parcel has a complex set of pieces to accurately assess the balance for and we have the experience to help you do so. It is vital to consider the balance of where, how, when, if and why of bedding areas, food sources, timber management, water, cover, stand locations, lines of movement, patterns of use, paralleling habitat features and ACCESS. We solve the complexity of your land design, all while considering the most proven high level hunting tactics.

Scouting Your Land

During your visit, your land will be extensively scouted to determine where bucks and does should travel, bed and feed based on the both the current and potential future habitat conditions. At the end of the visit an electronic design will be created before a WHS team member leaves your land, which is critical for your success. Your one of a kind design will be based on the experience of creating nearly 600 WHS parcels in 21 states since 2005.

Putting the pieces of the puzzle together for a balanced hunting and habitat design is what my clients tell me I do best.

A Personal Service

Since 2005 many of Jeff's clients have not only been great patrons, but are now personal friends. Your design will not only be specific to your parcel alone, but the WHS team will do its best to tailor your visit and plan to your own individually unique personality and needs. No two parcels are alike and no two clients are alike. Due to the extreme variety of clients, whitetail habitat and hunting conditions, it is vital that each of the components of your hunting and habitat design are accurately applied to your land, and the WHS team has the experience to do so. This is not a "cookie cutter" service.

Features Over Beauty

We take the hunting pressure, out of the hunt. The trick to creating the perfect plan does not lie in the perfection of the ingredients. Instead, the features of cover, water, food and travel need to be accurately appllied to your parcel, in a logical pattern relative to your parcel's individual needs. Each improvement needs to work within a coohesive unit to define the daytime movement of the herd. The more the deer movement is defined, the easier it becomes for you to successfully hunt and manage the herd of your dreams. Although we strive for you to experience pretty improvements, the recommended features of your design will in no way be random.

My Visit

Depending on the size of your parcel, I will visit with you and the hunters that use your parcel for an entire day or more. We’ll scout your parcel, put the pieces together, and then I will have a design for you before I leave at the end of the visit. Discussing your complete habitat design in person at the end of the day is not only a unique service that I provide to you, but it is a service that is critical to your success.

Deer bedding areas, staging areas, food plots, watering holes, hunting stand setups, trail cameras and more.

A Note

Due to the varieties of habitat type and terrain, a parcel of 80-200 acres or more of forest will often require an additional day. Parcels within all of MI, WI, OH, and PA require the basic daily fee, as do portions of northern, IN, IL, northeastern IA, eastern MN, and southwest NY. A WHS team member can fly to you if needed, for which a basic 3-day reduced fee is required, along with airfare.

What Others Are Saying

“I took home a buck, first time on the farm. Owned it 4 years. We can’t thank you enough for all that you did!”

Bill A- Ohio

My son and I had Jeff come out in early August 2022. We worked on the plan he provided us and finished it up the second week of September. We improved some bedding areas, combined 2 smaller food plots into one large plot, and created a deer trail all the way around the property to tie everything together. We hung several cameras on this trail; each over a mock scrape. We instantly noticed several deer using this trail. By thickening up the center of the property, a couple of nice bucks started to use our place as their new home. This provided me with the opportunity to take this nice 10 point the second week of November. He was a local buck on our 40 acres, and we had several daytime pictures of him. We had been working on our property for about five years and thought we were on the right track. However, by having Jeff come out to help us improve our habitat plan, we realized we needed to make some changes. Now we are very confident that we have a great deer hunting property now.

I can’t begin to express how happy I am to have made the decision to choose Whitetail Habit Solutions (WHS). Jeff and his team have done amazing things for everyone which includes me. As an out of state owner my time is limited and I knew I needed help so I researched and follow Jeff for awhile and the decision was very easy for me to learn from to get me on track. Kevan Smith came out to the property and was absolutely a beast getting things straightened out and offered great information to help me understand how to properly set things up and how to hunt the property the correct way.
I was able to turn my struggle over the years and turn it into a successful memory. I was able to do this by following the proven concepts Jeff created over the years. Staying focused to maximize the potential and leverage my limited time was important for me in order to become successful. WHS was able to help me get there. By following the concepts it offers a higher potential to the success you’re looking for and also gives you those important memories with family and friends on the way to fulfilling your dreams.
A Big Thank You to Jeff choosing to share for all to learn and for his team for sharing his vision. Your awesome!

Here are some photos of my 1st years success and more to come.

We had an awesome experience with Kevan and have really started to lay out the property. We are excited for this hunting season and will absolutely send pictures.
Here's one from the other day>>>

Jeff visited us in Central Michigan for the first time in the spring of 2022. In the 3 years we have hunted the property before Jeff’s consultation we had shot 4 bucks all scoring between 95”- 105” Jeff came out and gave us a plan. The biggest take away for us was to create significantly more depth of cover and access. Jeff had us move our food plots away from the middle of the property to create layers of bedding and helped us understand how to use the topography of our property for hunting access. I watched hours and hours of Jeff on YouTube and had a pretty good idea about what he was going to recommend, but having him in person able to apply his management philosophy to our property specifically directly made it easy. We started making changes immediately and that first hunting season, shot a 130” 5 year old 10 point.
This year, our switchgrass is coming in our food plots are expanding, and our blinds and stand locations are even better than before. We still have plenty of work ahead of us, but now, we have a plan. Thanks Jeff and the WHS team!
