With almost 1 000 000 residents of Georgia purchasing hunting licenses annually for big and small game hunting, this area was an ideal opportunity for Westervelt Wildlife to expand their business.

“Today we provide the best in private timberland hunting leases, deer management plan, habitat management for deer, wildlife property management guidance and we also manage hunting leases for other landowners across the Southeast”, Matt David, Lease Manager, Westervelt Wildlife.

Georgia, well-known for its biodiversity and rich habitat, was no challenge for Westervelt Wildlife. Because of their holistic approach to hunting and combining timberland with hunting ground, their qualified staff is the best in the business when it comes to diverse habitat and wildlife management.

Deer (and turkeys) were almost extinct in Georgia but were saved by good management from the state and landowners. By protecting the land and wildlife, it has become a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Testimonials from peers in the business have endorsed Westervelt Wildlife’s position as the market leader in their field. They are often praised for their good customer service and excellent professionalism.

Whether you are looking for hunting land to lease or a hunting club to join, Westervelt Wildlife offers a diverse range of services and support to the industry. Property assessment is key to a successful operation and by doing a thorough analysis, it will become clear what the land is suitable for.

The deer management program was devised to take excellent care of the habitat by harvesting young does to ensure the correct balance between supply and demand is maintained. An annual harvest to maintain the correct numbers is of the utmost importance. This balance is referred to as the carrying capacity of the habitat. That will ensure herds will not overpopulate and that the food supply will be sustainable.

Habitat management will ensure that no harm is done and that the hunting business planned for the land is sustainable. A program to clear out invasive plant species should be put into place. It is also necessary to restore damaged vegetation after clearing it out. Because there is symbiosis in nature, the annual harvest of animals will also help to promote a healthy and sustainable habitat.

Westervelt Wildlife is a management company, that being the basis of their operation. Without planning and having goals that need to be achieved, no hunting or survival of species will be sustainable. Understanding the responsibility of being gatekeepers, has made them market leaders in wildlife management.
