Our Process

At The Deer Harvest, I take a thoughtful and respectful approach to partnering with landowners. Every property is unique, so I begin by meeting with you to discuss your goals, concerns, and the specific features of your land. From there, I carefully assess the habitat, deer activity, and safety considerations to determine whether bowhunting is an appropriate fit. I also look for ways to give back to your property, whether through light maintenance, trail work, or other support as needed. My goal is to create a clear, transparent plan that balances effective deer management with the utmost respect for your property and peace of mind.

Understand Your Property

We begin with a conversation to understand your goals, answer questions, and discuss your property’s unique characteristics. This ensures a transparent, respectful partnership.

Humane Harvest

During the fall season, (Oct-December) bowhunting is a humane and low-impact method of deer harvesting, emphasizing precision, minimal disturbance to the environment, and respect for the animal.

Community Impact

All animals are treated with respect and all meat harvested will be consumed directly or donated to those in need. We are grateful for our private land partners and always treat your properties with the utmost respect.
