What other plans/interests do you
have?
![Page 17: Developing Your Wildlife Management Plantxmn.org/Elcamino/Files/2015/03/Developing-Your-Wildlife-Management-Plan.pdfDeveloping Your Wildlife Management Plan Heidi K. Bailey Regulatory](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042206/5ea7f6b0fc7ab170861b07c5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
REALITY CHECK
What you have to work with to begin with
(acreage, habitat types, soil types, time,
$$$, etc.) will largely help you to
determine what goals and priorities are
realistic.
![Page 18: Developing Your Wildlife Management Plantxmn.org/Elcamino/Files/2015/03/Developing-Your-Wildlife-Management-Plan.pdfDeveloping Your Wildlife Management Plan Heidi K. Bailey Regulatory](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042206/5ea7f6b0fc7ab170861b07c5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
For example,
15 acres of
![Page 19: Developing Your Wildlife Management Plantxmn.org/Elcamino/Files/2015/03/Developing-Your-Wildlife-Management-Plan.pdfDeveloping Your Wildlife Management Plan Heidi K. Bailey Regulatory](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042206/5ea7f6b0fc7ab170861b07c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
So….establish a detailed and
REALISTIC goal/set of goals.
Example: “To manage native habitats to improve the quality and quantity of white-tailed deer for
lease-hunting” -Increase deer food and cover to increase deer utilization.
-Manage deer population to increase production of mature bucks.
-Harvest of only mature (4.5 years+) bucks
-Maintain buck/doe ratio of 1:3 or better
-Maintain carrying capacity of 1 deer: 20 acres
![Page 20: Developing Your Wildlife Management Plantxmn.org/Elcamino/Files/2015/03/Developing-Your-Wildlife-Management-Plan.pdfDeveloping Your Wildlife Management Plan Heidi K. Bailey Regulatory](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042206/5ea7f6b0fc7ab170861b07c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
…and a nongame example might be:
“To improve recreational bird watching opportunities by creating and maintaining
nesting, feeding, and breeding habitat suitable for native bird populations, with special
emphasis on grassland species.”
-Improve vegetative diversity throughout the property.
-Reintroduce native warm season grasses to pastures.
![Page 21: Developing Your Wildlife Management Plantxmn.org/Elcamino/Files/2015/03/Developing-Your-Wildlife-Management-Plan.pdfDeveloping Your Wildlife Management Plan Heidi K. Bailey Regulatory](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042206/5ea7f6b0fc7ab170861b07c5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
…and yet another example:
“To improve and enhance the habitat for
white-tailed deer, wild turkey, bobwhite
quail, and other game and nongame
wildlife in conjunction with running a
successful cow-calf operation.”

- OR, if possible, give actual acreage amounts of each habitat type.

the 1-d-1(w) wildlife management use
appraisal they must implement and
complete a minimum of one
management practice from at least three
of the seven wildlife management
activities each year.
