Thermal drones are significantly enhancing the capabilities of the outdoor industry, particularly in the domains of herd surveys and habitat selection and management. In the realm of white-tailed deer management, the integration of drones is proving to be a valuable asset. Drones equipped with thermal imaging technology enable comprehensive assessments of deer health and browsing preferences. Collaborating closely with landowners, our team assists in critical decision-making by providing insights derived from drone-generated data, which informs and refines their overall habitat management strategies. Furthermore, our services extend to deer recoveries, where thermal drones are utilized to minimize stress on the animal, particularly in cases where the deer may still be alive. This approach not only ensures the animal’s well-being but also mitigates the risk of spooking the deer and causing it to flee to inaccessible areas, ultimately facilitating more successful recovery efforts.
