Wildlife Enterprise Consulting Services

One of the features of WSI that makes us unique among many of our competitors is our 23 years of success in the outdoor industry.WSI is led by well known wildlife biologist Greg Simons. Greg earned a wildlife degree from Texas A & M University in 1987, and shortly thereafter formed Wildlife Systems, Inc. which he still owns and operates today.

WSI currently manages the hunting and wildlife operations on over 600,000 acres scattered across the state. Simons has also conducted wildlife and hunting business in several other states including New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Utah.  He has worked internationally in Mexico, Canada, New Zealand and multiple African countries. 

In an effort to stay abreast of the state of the outdoor industry in Texas Greg participates with a number of leading organizations. Simons is a past officer in Texas Chapter of The Wildlife Society, past Region 3 chair and current director for Texas Wildlife Association, serves on White-tailed Deer Advisory Committee for state of Texas, committee member of Deer Management Advisory Committee for TWA, assistant chair for San Angelo CVB, and co-founder of West Texas Deer Study Group. 

The WSI enterprise analysis or enterprise plans are well suited for fee based hunting programs where the landowner needs an expert independent analysis or review of their program. The evaluation considers pricing, marketing, staffing, risk management, and other quality control issues. Since WSI is one of the largest and most successful hunting enterprises in the United States, we bring a vast amount of knowledge to the table.
