I'm half way through the vid and not a word on waterholes!

Yep, first half is the "Habitat Season Update" part.

Biggest yuck factor in consulting is having to be a salesman. State DNR (depending on state) can be a tremendous free resource for folks who just want to improve their property.

[@HowtoHuntDeer]

You're right, State DNR can be a great free resource. But they simply cannot provide the level of guidance, habitat design, and reporting that a private consultant can. State DNRs aren't staffed to allow the level of service a consultant can.

@@HowtoHuntDeer You are incorrect. The PLBs in my state and my area have went above and beyond and did a full property plan... multiple maps, schedule of work, and 40 page written report. They also plan to help me burn and offered to sign me up for a learn and burn opportunity that they offer landowners.

@@usernamehere6061 That's a very impressive level of service! Many states cannot offer that. Curious what state if you don't mind sharing?
But... my comment still stands as correct. What you outlined is not close to the level of service you receive from a great habitat consultant. Not to knock the tremendous job your PLBs do, but just to say that's far less than half the work a great consultant can provide.
