Just curious who has used a habitat consultant for your Ohio property and how it went. What were your goals and outcomes? Was it worth the cost, would you recommend who you used?
I absolutely believe this to be true. You need to ask yourself “what am I passionate about”.That’s great feedback. Will keep you posted on if/when I hear back from him.
It is challenging to balance between the known deer guys, the lesser known and the habitat guys. I feel there are some snake oil sales folks, some talented and a bunch in the middle that may also have a niche. It’s fricken hard as a consumer. It’s also hard being a landowner who fancies themselves as knowing a bunch and checking my pride at the door for a second opinion or better opinion.
It sounds like there is a 1-3yr setup on actually getting enrolled in EQUIP and some delay with tax breaks too….which is a bummer. Will get a plan in place and chip away as much as I can in the meanwhile.
