HERD SURVEYS
Why Thermal Drone Surveys Crush Every Other Method
You’re managing deer, not guessing. Stop wasting time and money on methods that miss half the herd.
Here’s the hard truth:
Spotlight counts: 30–50% accuracy at best. You drive around scaring everything and still miss most deer bedded in cover.
Trail cameras: Great for pictures, terrible for totals. You’ll never know what’s 200 yards outside the lens.
Helicopter surveys: $1,500–$4,000 per hour, loud as hell, and still can’t see through thick canopy or standing crops.
Now look at what a thermal drone actually delivers:
95–99% detection rate – we see every single deer, even in the nastiest thickets, river bottoms, and CRP with the use of thermal imaging, high-resolution zoom lenses, and AI visual recognition.
Entire properties (500–5,000+ acres) surveyed in quiet, pre-planned flights – zero pressure on your deer.
Pinpoint GPS locations of every buck, doe, and fawn at the time of the survey.
Buck:doe and fawn:doe ratios you can actually trust.
Heat maps that show exactly where your biggest bucks bed, feed, and travel – so you stop hanging stands in the wrong zip code.
Costs 70–80% less than a helicopter and beats it on accuracy every single time.
Bottom line: if you’re serious about killing mature bucks and running a legitimate QDM program, you need real numbers—not hope and trail-cam selfies.
We deliver those numbers. Fast. Quiet. Deadly accurate.
