64. Phased and Focused: A Real-World Whitetail Property Design Breakdown

On this episode of the Design. Build. Hunt. podcast, host Josh Raley is joined once again by Whitetail Partners founder Sam Bilhorn for a deep dive into a real client property design—one that blends smart planning, custom goals, and phased implementation. Josh and Sam walk through a 120-acre Wisconsin property, discussing its strong mix of ag land, diverse cover, and a tornado-altered ravine that provides outstanding whitetail habitat. This design highlights what it looks like when a landowner wants to partner on the process—taking on some of the work while letting the Whitetail Partners team handle the rest. It’s a great example of how we phase improvements, keep things budget-conscious, and stay aligned with the landowner’s unique goals. Whether you’re managing your own property or just curious about how we approach a real design, this episode is full of takeaways for hunters, landowners, and DIY habitat managers alike.
