Overview on One of Georgia’s Most Prominent Names in Hunting

1. Overview on One of Georgia’s Most Prominent Names in Hunting The year 1884 was a major year in the local world of hunting. It earmarks the start of a long and outstanding history for hunting clubs across entire Georgia and beyond. It was the year that the Westervelt Wildlife Services founded Herbert Westervelt. Today the Westervelt Company manages more than 500,000 acres of the local natural resources as well as timberland. It was however only much later, during the 1950s that the same company started to manage these grounds with the purpose to host wildlife for hunting. The next major achievement in their history took place in the 1960s when they were one of the first names in the field that opted to harvest the doe. They did this to protect the younger bucks in efforts to improve the quality of the deer available for hunting. Quickly the Westervelt hunting field turned out to be one of the best in entire Alabama. Then during the 1970s, they were again ahead. This time it was when they started with a hunting lease program. Their lease program included more than 400 000 acres of land that companies owned. It was also when they opened the first hunting lodge, the Westervelt. Today the Westervelt has expanded to a point that they have hunting clubs and leases across Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi. The collective experience of their hunting club managers adds up to more than 100 years. When it comes to managing hunting clubs, this team plays a very active role and knows exactly how to maximize the quality of the wildlife these fields host and even how to create recreational opportunities. Their teams include several wildlife biologists who can guide them forward with expert advice on how to make the most of the natural resources. When it comes to managing the more than 600 000 acres, they manage for hunting leases and hunting clubs, Westervelt Wildlife still sticks to the founding principles that brought them thus far on their journey to success. These principles include outstandingly accurate evaluation of hunting leases and their pricing. It requires a comprehensive selection process to ensure customer quality. As this team takes tremendous pride in what they have to offer, they want to make sure that they gather quality hunters when it comes to their fields. While they have the support of expert biologists to help them take care of their fields, they rely on highly skilled marketeers to assist with their bespoke online marketing systems aimed at marketing the leases they have on offer. Thanks to the support of an outstanding admin team, they also take care of all invoicing and the collection of fees. As the hunting clubs form such a large part of their operational structure, they have an entire website only dedicated to providing those interested in the hunting clubs across Georgia and beyond to find all the necessary information and forms with ease. Here they provide information on the summaries gathered from the deer harvest, the timber activity on the property, and all other
