Tune In: Whetstone Habitat Featured on NDA's Coffee & Deer Podcast

Episode Headline: Hiring a Habitat Consultant with Zack Vucurevich of Whetstone Habitat LLC

Dear Whetstone Habitat Community,

I’m excited to share that I was recently featured on the National Deer Association’s Coffee & Deer podcast, hosted by Nick Pinizzotto, President and CEO of the National Deer Association, along with cohost Mike Groman. It was an honor to represent Whetstone Habitat and discuss a topic close to my heart: "Hiring a Habitat Consultant."

In this episode, we dive deep into what it means to hire a habitat consultant, the barriers to entry, and why partnering with a private consultant like Whetstone Habitat can make a world of difference for your land management goals. We also cover:

  • The benefits of customized management plans explicitly tailored to your property.

  • The differences between working with a private consultant versus state programs.

  • Essential equipment and techniques that bring your habitat vision to life.

  • Work with what you have: Equipment, time, finances, etc.

  • How Whetstone Habitat can assist you in enrolling in cost-share programs, like EQIP through the NRCS, to fund your conservation practices and keep your projects on track.

Thinking About Buying Land?
During the podcast, we also discussed a unique service I offer: Pre-Purchase Property Evaluations. If you're in the market for land, this service could be a game-changer. I accompany potential buyers as they tour properties with their agents, offering expert insights and opinions on the parcels being shown. From evaluating the habitat potential to identifying any red flags, I help ensure you make a well-informed decision before purchasing.

Have confidence working with a land agent by having a wildlife biologist at your side!

If you're a potential landowner, this service may be right for you! A small investment can lead to huge returns by securing the right property that meets your wildlife and land management goals.

I encourage you to tune in and listen to the full episode hosted by Nick and Mike. You can find it on all major podcast platforms or directly on the National Deer Association’s website.

Thank you for your continued support of Whetstone Habitat. I look forward to helping you give your property an edge.

Last thing; Good luck to all the elk hunters heading out this September! The elk are bugling, and I have to admit, I’m feeling a bit jealous not having a tag this year. For those of you lucky enough to be chasing bulls, enjoy every moment out there! If you’re heading west this fall, I highly recommend following my buddy Jeremy and the Fit to Hunt team. Their Flatlander Program is perfect for Midwesterners preparing to tackle the elevation challenges out west. Get ready to perform your best when it matters most! Check them out here: Fit to Hunt and their workout programs.

Best of luck, and happy hunting!

Best regards,
Zack Vucurevich
