Ranch Management
Wildlife
Management Plans
What do you want to accomplish with your property?
Perhaps you are blending a wildlife enterprise in with a livestock operation to
generate additional income from the property. Or, you could be simply working to
intensively manage the wildlife resources alone. The first step in a well
prepared wildlife management plan is establishing goals and a timeline to reach
them. We can help you determine the most efficient and economic path towards
your goals.
Habitat Management Plans
Looking to improve
the habitat for wildlife on your property? Whether the method is roller-chopping
or controlled burning, Hendrick Outdoors can help put together a plan to help
create the ideal habitat for your target species.
Wildlife Census
Spotlight counts, camera
counts and helicopter counts are a few of the most effective methods for
counting wildlife on properties. We can make recommendations as to the most
effective method of census, and provide assistance on site to make sure the
census is as accurate as possible. After completion of the count, we can provide
reports to review progress in reaching the goals of the property. We believe
that effective photographic information is essential in making sound wildlife
management decisions prior to hunting season.
Harvest Recommendations
Once a population
estimate has been made, the next step is to utilize that information to create
effective harvest recommendations for your wildlife management plan. Numeric and
photographic information is essential in analyzing exactly what level of harvest
will best fit your needs. We can also provide assistance in keeping records of
harvest for permitting and evaluating progress.
Real Estate Evaluations
Are you looking to
purchase a new piece of property? One of the biggest reasons you are making that
investment is for the wildlife resources located there. Are you confident of the
accuracy of the records you have seen? Hendrick Outdoors can perform an onsite
evaluation of a property and its wildlife resources. The report from this
evaluation could prove valuable to your property purchase decision.
