Roy Heverly brings decades of hands-on whitetail hunting, land management, guiding, and outfitting experience to every property he evaluates. His deep understanding of mature buck behavior, terrain-driven movement, seasonal patterns, and hunting pressure has helped landowners consistently see more daylight buck activity.
Roy has guided hunters across multiple states and has personally designed and improved hunting properties ranging from small wooded tracts to large agricultural and hill-country properties. His approach focuses on understanding how deer naturally use the land — then enhancing it with strategic layout, predictable travel routes, and low-pressure hunting access.
Areas of expertise include:
• Stand placement based on wind, thermals, and terrain
• Creating consistent daylight buck movement
• Designing predictable travel corridors and funnels
• Developing buck and doe bedding structure
• Long-term property planning for year-round attraction
• Low-pressure access and hunter flow strategies
• Small-parcel optimization for mature buck success
Whether you are a new landowner or a seasoned hunter looking for better results, your property is designed using the same principles relied on by successful whitetail outfitters.
Many properties have deer — but not consistent mature buck daylight movement. Our deer hunting property design services focus on creating predictable deer movement, reducing hunting pressure, and maximizing the full potential of your land.
Benefits include:
• Increased daylight deer movement
• Holding mature bucks longer on your property
• Creating predictable travel corridors and funnels
• Reducing hunting pressure and human intrusion
• Maximizing every acre, regardless of property size
• Deer sign and movement analysis
• Buck and doe bedding identification
• Funnels, pinch points, and terrain mapping
• Wind and thermal evaluation
• Hunter access and pressure analysis
• Entry and exit route planning
• Strategic placement of legal bait sites and designated kill trees to influence daylight deer movement and shot opportunities
• Food plot layout including kill plots, staging areas, and destination plots
• Travel corridor development and edge design
• Mock scrapes and community scrape systems
• Water source planning and optimization
• Stand and blind location selection for multiple wind directions
• Sanctuary and pressure-free core area design
• Hinge-cut bedding areas
• Silent access trail clearing
• Food plot installation and soil preparation guidance
• Tree stand, saddle, and blind setup
• Scrape vine and licking branch installation
• Access path layout and hunter entry/exit strategy
Stand locations are chosen based on predominant winds, thermals, terrain features, and mature buck movement patterns.
Access routes are designed to keep deer unaware they are being hunted, keeping your best locations productive longer.
We build a 365-day property plan using bedding, browse, food sources, cover, and travel structure so deer live on your property year-round.
Funnels, pinch points, edges, and staging areas guide bucks through high-percentage hunting locations during daylight.
