Full Spectrum Deer Management Services

Wildlife Specialists, LLC, offers full spectrum custom deer management services designed to meet the specific project goals of our clients from individual landowners to entire communities. We help select and conduct the appropriate surveys, generate GIS maps, hold public meetings, design habitat enhancements, assess management options, and develop site-specific plans.  All of our recommendations are based on the principles of Quality Deer Management.
Our experts have coordinated some of the largest-scale surveys in the history of deer and habitat management. Specifically, we have designed and implemented aerial FLIR surveys and habitat browsing surveys. To date, our experts have developed the protocols considered state-of-the-art in deer density estimation by the pellet group technique and in habitat browsing and regeneration surveys.  In addition, we have co-authored numerous reports and publications on deer management.
