Hunting Lease Program Westervelt Wildlife Services offers a hunting lease program that’s just right for you. We offer these services throughout the Southeast. Collectively, we manage nearly 600,000 acres of hunting leases in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia. Westervelt Wildlife Services is staffed with professional Certified Wildlife Biologists, who specialize in wildlife consulting, and hunting lease managers that have over 100 years of combined experience managing wildlife, wildlife habitat, and hunting lease programs. In fact, the Westervelt Company was the first private industrial timber company in the Southeast to hire a wildlife biologist (1951) and among the first to implement a hunting lease program in the 1970’s on over 400,000 acres of company owned lands. Because the primary use of our land is timber production, we have learned how to manage quality hunting leases, implement wildlife enhancement projects, and maintain long-term hunting lease customer satisfaction in conjunction with timber activities. Due to our expertise and experience over these years, our hunting lease program has been extremely successful and currently leads the hunting lease industry in quality. On lands owned by Westervelt, timber management activities are conducted in a way that promotes quality wildlife habitat, abundant wildlife, and excellent hunting. Management strategies such as timber thinning, harvest, burning, fertilization, and herbicide applications are used to promote desirable wildlife cover and food. Our average timber harvest is less than 100 acres designed in a way that will promote edge habitat, habitat diversity, and hunting opportunities. We have also dedicated at least 1% of our ownership to permanent food plots that are maintained for wildlife. Leasing land from Westervelt is more than simply having a place to hunt. Our hunting clubs take an active role in managing the lands to maximize wildlife value and create exceptional recreational opportunities. Our staff of wildlife biologists, with their wildlife consulting expertise, works closely with our hunting clubs each year to help them make the most of their hunting lease. Most Westervelt hunting clubs annually collect harvest and hunter observation data that allows the biologist to monitor deer herd quality and make recommendations that will improve the deer herd and hunting. Among Our Wildlife Consulting Services is the Deer Camera Survey Why guess when you can know? Most of us spend a great deal of time and money trying to grow quality deer on our property. When you devote this many resources into your deer management program, why would you guess about how many and which deer to harvest to achieve your goals when you can know? Our wildlife consulting services are the key to your success.
