How To Design Your Deer Hunting Parcel

The Whitetail Web Class That You Need!

I'm really excited to introduce this web class series because it will change the way you create and hunt deer habitat for the rest of your life.

Since 2005, I've consulted on over 1000 parcels in 26 states. That's at least one every single week of the year for the last 15 years!

By the end of this web class, you will be able to look at your land, and be able to design your own parcel. You get to experience firsthand the exact steps and methods I use when I design a whitetail parcel. My concepts have been refined from hundreds of client experiences since 2005 and decades of advanced whitetail habitat and hunting success stories going all the way back to the mid 80s.

While nothing compares to an actual visit to your property in-person, this class will give you the tools to help you design a whitetail hunting parcel for yourself that a short "online consultation" can never provide.

Jeff Sturgis takes decades of pursuing his passion, and then professionally transfers those pursuits into the enhancement of his client’s, reader's and viewer's hunting and habitat experiences, across the entire country. Jeff prides himself in creating the healthiest free-ranging deer herds in the world of whitetails, as well as taking on the challenge of hunting the oldest bucks in the neighborhood. Not only has he been able to create, own and operate a successful business in the whitetail industry since 2005, but he has been able to work along side his wife Diane while doing so.

Jeff received the QDMA's Deer Manager of the Year award in 2004, and hasn't stopped learning since. After studying and creating over 1000 whitetail videos and articles, as well as working on over 1000 client lands across 26 whitetail states, Jeff is in a league of his own when it comes to the ability to design your habitat, herd and hunt - anywhere a whitetail roams!

Jeff, Your videos are absolutely awesome, good teacher, great speaker, great filming. Keep up the great content.

Why I don't believe in "online consultations"

Since 2005 I have designed over 1000 deer parcels for paying clients in 26 states. However, I understand that not every individual can pay my daily rate of nearly $3000. Also, even though I am visiting 125 clients during the 2020 client season, that total number is likely the most I will ever again. I really like to stay home more often throughout the year to spend time with family, friends and the whitetail lands that I personally work and hunt on. I am often asked to complete online or phone consultations and those practices simply are not effective and even with the level of experience that I carry, I do not believe that those level of services create enough depth and value to place my stamp of approval on. Due to a lack of time, folks that simply can’t afford to have me visit their land and the level of inaccuracy that online or phone consultations provide, my WHS web classes have been born!

An exceptional compromise

I am extremely excited to deliver to you what I feel is an exceptional compromise between my actual boots on the ground at your deer parcel versus the lower level of accuracy for online and phone consultations. What I try do my best through my web class is to take you through the logical progression of steps for what it takes to design your whitetail parcel in person, by allowing you to make the decisions of balance needed to accurately build a plan that fits you, your resources, your land and the local needs of the whitetail herd. The concepts work, the concepts have been originated by me personally and the concept have been proven over decades of work by tens of thousands of viewers, readers and clients. While these are the concepts that flood my books and over 1000 articles and videos that can be found on my website and YouTube channel, this is the most comprehensive set of content that can be used to effectively design your whitetail parcel – within the steps that you should work to complete them in.

By the conclusion of the class you should know where to place your bedding areas, habitat plantings, deer travel corridors, waterholes, morning stands, evening stands, food plots, much more – and WHY! In the end your land should pass the 7 tests of whitetail habitat and hunting design and if not, well, the lessons, books, and exclusive private membership in our WHS Facebook web class and client page, are all resources to help you get the job done right!

My WHS Web Classes (more to come) are the next best thing to having me design your land in person, and I am excited to open the availability of these classes to a far greater number of folks than the number I personally work with per year – at a much more affordable price!

What Others Are Saying

Jeff visited us in Central Michigan for the first time in the spring of 2022. In the 3 years we have hunted the property before Jeff’s consultation we had shot 4 bucks all scoring between 95”- 105” Jeff came out and gave us a plan. The biggest take away for us was to create significantly more depth of cover and access. Jeff had us move our food plots away from the middle of the property to create layers of bedding and helped us understand how to use the topography of our property for hunting access. I watched hours and hours of Jeff on YouTube and had a pretty good idea about what he was going to recommend, but having him in person able to apply his management philosophy to our property specifically directly made it easy. We started making changes immediately and that first hunting season, shot a 130” 5 year old 10 point.
This year, our switchgrass is coming in our food plots are expanding, and our blinds and stand locations are even better than before. We still have plenty of work ahead of us, but now, we have a plan. Thanks Jeff and the WHS team!

Greetings Jeff, Thank you for all of your shared knowledge, i have literally watched every u-tube video you have shared. I live in Drums Pa. 18222. I recently purchased a small plot of 5 acres which borders approximately 400 acres of privately owned wooded area. I have hunted for over 20 years in this area harvesting great bucks every year, I am also surrounded by hundreds of acres of corn / soybean fields, with that said, As I am a green horn planter I exclusively use your Techniques of Hinge cutting / layering rye with huge success. I currently plant 1 acre of rye and 1 acre of white clover around my new house which covers the remaining acres, my thoughts with the clover is aesthetically looks great, better than standard grass. I am learning that these types of plots are holding the deer and turkeys year round. I let both plots grow to seed for fawning and poult cover, I will cut 1st week of August then start cycle all over again, Bottom line is, Thank you so much for "free" training, its the best. If ever your in my neck of the woods i would love to meet you and assist you in any way! Sincerely, John

I just wanted to reach out to thank you for the wealth of knowledge you share. I believe it has helped me become a better hunter. I was on of those guys that’s say you can’t get them from the couch. But now I’m a firm believer in hunting the weather. I shot my biggest buck to date on 11/2/24. That day the high temp had dropped over 30 degrees from two days prior. My deer weighed 212 pounds. Green scored 135”. I got him over a mock scrape with a vine. In my area that is a giant. Thanks again!

Patrick, NY

“Thanks buddy!! I'm so looking forward to future hunts, especially after we finish getting property setup from your recommendations. Just need to finish the bedding areas and interior paths. I can see a big difference already from last season!”

Good Day. I am not sure where the best place to express my thanks for you sharing the information on YouTube so I picked your website. I enjoy watching you and occasionally Dylan almost everyday sharing your knowledge. Long story short my dad, sister, nephew, and myself lost our shotgun hunting spot after the 2021 season. It was a great spot on a farm where all we had to do was show up and we would see deer. Been like that for 20 years. Easy really LOL! Now for over 10 years my my dad has had 27 acres of mature timber that straddles a rather deep creek with no field edges. He tried to bow hunt on it a few times with no success at seeing daylight deer despite having a small food plot. Since it was really our best opportunity to hunt outside of public land, I started researching deer information and came across your YouTube videos. I never knew there was so much to learn about deer hunting and habitat. I put together a design for 18 acres on one side of the creek (the other 9 acres is a 2024 project due to bridge issues) and we worked as much as we could to implement the design (there is more than enough to still do this coming year). The plan did work as we saw many daylight deer on the trail cams. Mostly does consistently with bucks sprinkled in starting late September. We had no idea what the deer herd was like here. Turned out to be pretty good by our standards as our shooter board had two 10 pointers and three 8 pointers. In the end my dad and my sister took does and my nephew got one of the 8 pointers off our board. My nephew also got a 6 pointer with a bow while my dad passed on number of yearlings with his bow. I didn't get any as first season I went to a wedding in San Diego (could not pass up the warm weather) and by second season all the cover was mostly gone (hence more work still to be done for late season hunting as it was straight up mature woods we started with). I am very happy overall with the results and could not have done without your information and willingness to share.

My dad was a bit old school and not quite on board with the plan I put together from your information however he is now. With the season over and the only green food being the winter rye our cameras did have 12 does and yearlings on the main food plot which is only 20yds by 90 yds. He said he has never seen that many deer total over the 10 years let alone during the day at the same time. We are so grateful for your expertise and that we can continue to deer hunt and create memories. Definitely a new chapter for us in the deer hunting space. I even got my first bow for this year! :) I look forward to your future videos and podcasts. Thank you again!
