The other night, a pilot at Southern Raised Aerial Imaging got a call: a deer recovery. We jumped at it, driving about an hour to a client's location, hoping to assist with our thermal drone. After a brief flight, we spotted the deer. It was still alive, but with a serious wound. We GPS-pinned its location for recovery the following day.
The next morning, our client headed out, but the deer had moved, and they couldn't find it. A second call brought us back to the search. We scoured the area with no success until we flew near a bayou. There, on the other side, a thermal image appeared – it was the deer! We won't go into graphic detail, but it was truly impressive to see how this animal managed to swim across the bayou. The deer was recovered that day.
This experience, is a testament to the power of our top-of-the-line drones, enabling us to find what's hidden from the ground. As deer season winds down in the South, it's the perfect time to consider a deer survey for your property. Text us at 407-288-9971 for more information on pricing and availability.
