WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin's deer hunting culture, Whitetail Partners emerged from a rich legacy of hunting and an unwavering love for whitetails.
Embracing a philosophy of leading by example, we have honed our expertise through countless generations, showcasing innovative and time-tested solutions on our own property.

"Josh was able and willing to put in the time and boot leather to get to know me, understand my objectives, and learn the features, benefits, and drawbacks of my property...He has been very prompt, punctual, and professional in both conduct and character and is very knowledgeable about habitat planning."
"Whitetail Partners advice and plan solidified the improvements that I need to complete to maximize my hunting opportunities. The report provided suggestions for trail cameras, food plots, water holes, stands, and much more. Sam is very knowledgeable, made a great plan, and even incorporated some of my wants and ideas into the plan. I would recommend Whitetail Partners to anyone looking to plan their whitetail property."
