How Wildlife Surveys Work
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.
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.
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
Note: During hunting season; there is a 48-hour turnaround for deliverables.
See What Your Habitat Work Is Really Doing
Every habitat improvement you make should have a purpose, and thermal surveys allow you to verify if it’s actually working. Whether it’s TSI hinge cutting, new bedding areas, food plots, screens, or transition zones, we show you how deer are truly interacting with those changes.
Instead of relying on assumptions, trail cameras, or limited daylight sightings, you get a full-property view of real deer movement and usage. See where deer are bedding, how they’re entering and exiting food sources, and how they’re navigating your improvements.
This data allows you to make smarter decisions moving forward, fine-tune your setup, and build a property that not only looks good on a map but consistently holds and moves deer the way you want it to.

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.
