Landowners Can Do A Lot To Ensure They Offer Good Opportunities For Hunters

1. Landowners Can Do A Lot To Ensure They Offer Good Opportunities For Hunters Hunting is big in many parts of the world – also in many states of the US. Some owners hunt and work their land, but in modern times the hunting industry has become sophisticated and has created great opportunities for owners to benefit financially from visiting hunters as opposed to looking only after their own, immediate needs. Therefore there is a growing interest in the opportunities available to owners of the land that want to offer hunting leases to the public, for example. But, as makes perfect sense, hunters will only visit and pay good money if they know there is a very good chance that their visit is worth their while in terms of the animals – deer and other species – they can hunt, that they know they will leave with quality prey, their trophy. This is never guaranteed unless the landowner goes out of their way to ensure their visitors are afforded those special opportunities. It obviously starts with being able to offer quality animals; however, quality animals can never be guaranteed if circumstances are not ideal for them to be raised in. There is, therefore, the constant need for the successful interaction and co-operation between the habitat or land where animals are found, and the condition of these animals when offered to hunters. Good, healthy herds will not be raised if they do not have room to move, shelter, water, food, and the ideal circumstances to raise their offspring. This does not happen by chance. It is often the result of ongoing studies and scientifically based research in terms of creating the best environment or habitat for the animals you want to raise for the harvest. This is also why more and more landowners than ever before are turning to land and wildlife management services and companies for advice in this regard. These services offer the knowledge and expertise which owners can benefit from, and some of them are well known for their efforts throughout the states where they operate right from Missouri to Alabama and Georgia. For some it has become a business that relies on the expertise of wildlife biologists and assistants, for example, to put in place and execute those principles that look at those issues that influence habitat and the herds found there. These principles are studied with much greater interest these days, and the so-called Quality Deer Management (QDM) that aims to improve animal numbers and quality of herds depends to a large extent on the habitat or environment where herds roam. It also makes sense that good herds and healthy deer and other animals can only thrive in the best conditions, namely where they have enough water and forage. Nutrition, and its availability, play an important part in ensuring that healthy buck and doe will be developed

This means that management plans should be implemented to ensure animals have access to proper food and water, and the managers should make sure that numbers are limited so that quality is not sacrificed, but at the same time senseless culling should also be avoided to ensure that the herd’s good genes are not instantly depleted. It is a fine line that needs the input of experienced wildlife managers and the knowledge and experience they bring with them to ensure ongoing good practice in terms of which the best deer and other animals are raised and leases offered to hunters that are happy to pay for a good experience. Good wildlife managers put to good use data and information by employing camera surveys, by asking visiting hunters to help collect data and information, by looking at numbers in terms of which animal population density is studied, by having information about adult sex ratio and buck age structure, for example. The good manager will also put into practice a property assessment plan so they understand the challenges, and they will make sure the land is managed in a way that ensures great habitat for healthy animals to thrive – and to be offered for the hunt.
