How Wildlife Surveys Work

1. Discuss Your Property Goals


We start with a conversation about your land, your deer herd, and what you want to accomplish. Whether it’s harvest planning or long-term herd management optimization, we tailor the survey to your goals.

2. Fly & Survey Your Entire Property


Using thermal drones, we scan your property to conduct a complete deer survey. Every buck and doe is counted, marked with precise GPS coordinates, and documented for accurate herd analysis.

3. Deliver Your OnX Map & Report


After the survey, we create a custom OnX folder with all pins and photos. You’ll also receive a detailed report summarizing herd health, ratios, and insights, everything you need for smarter herd management.

Turn Data Into Management Decisions


You take this data and make informed management choices. When paired with our custom mapping service, the results provide valuable insights like no other giving you the tools to truly optimize your property for deer. We can complete these deer surveys multiple times throughout the season to track changes in your herd

***Disclaimer*** it’s during hunting season; there is a 48-hour turnaround for deliverables.

In this video, we show a wildlife survey we did for a Southern Ohio outfitter. Using thermal drones, we flew their property and got a full look at the deer herd from above. The survey gave us clear data on buck-to-doe ratios, herd size, and where deer were bedding.



With this info, the outfitter can make better herd management decisions—improving habitat, planning hunts, and keeping their deer herd healthy long-term. Seeing the property from the air gives a whole new level of insight you just can’t get from the ground.
