Ever wondered what it takes to run a deer preserve? At Whitehouse Whitetails, every day is an adventure filled with careful planning, dedication, and a deep connection to nature. Let’s take a closer look at the behind-the-scenes action, from deer management to preserve maintenance.
The Heart of the Preserve: Deer Management
Caring for the deer at Whitehouse Whitetails is a 24/7 responsibility. Here’s how we ensure the health and well-being of our herd:
Nutrition and Feeding: Providing balanced diets tailored to the needs of each deer, including high-quality grains, hay, and supplements to support optimal health.
Health Monitoring: Regular check-ups and preventive care ensure that our deer stay healthy and thrive.
Herd Management: Maintaining a balanced herd population is key. This involves careful breeding practices and ensuring ample space for each animal to roam.
Our team’s dedication to these tasks is what keeps the preserve thriving and ensures a sustainable environment for future generations.
Maintaining the Preserve: A Labor of Love
Running a preserve isn’t just about the deer—it’s about the land they call home. Our daily efforts to maintain the grounds include:
Habitat Management: Creating and preserving diverse habitats that provide food, water, and shelter for the deer.
Trail Maintenance: Keeping trails and paths clear for visitors while minimizing disruption to the natural environment.
Fence Repairs: Ensuring the safety and security of the preserve with routine checks and maintenance of fencing.
These tasks require teamwork, creativity, and a deep respect for the land.
