Back in January, we had the opportunity to complete a large-scale thermal drone wildlife survey for a Property Owners Association in Indiana. Using thermal drones, we were able to cover a ton of ground and help provide real wildlife data for future property and wildlife management decisions.

Definitely one of the cooler projects we’ve worked on this year and a great example of how thermal drone technology can be used outside of just deer recovery.

Check out the YouTube Video below to see how the survey was done and what the operation looked like from start to finish. 👇🎥

Always finding new ways to use the drone for real research and data collection.

These two were missing for over 24 hours.
With thermal drones and a lot of ground covered, we were able to locate them and get them home safe

This dog got out Tuesday night around 8 PM, and after a full 24 hours with no sightings, we were called in the following night. We got eyes on him in about 35 minutes, roughly .75 mile from home in the woods.

We stayed on him as he moved, and he ended up working his way back to within about a tenth of a mile from the house. His owners were able to ease out into the field and safely recover him.

This one made it easy, he walked most of the way back and came straight to his owners. A great outcome, he’s back home where he belongs.

We recently completed an 1,800 acre wildlife survey across two properties here in southern Ohio for a local organization. This data will be used to help guide their management plans moving forward.

Nick from Warbucks came down and helped knock this one out with me. We had snow on the ground with light snow falling throughout the day, which made for some great conditions.

We turned up a lot of nice deer and some other cool finds. We’re also putting together an educational video from this project that will be coming out later this year.

Overall, a solid day and a fun one to be a part of 👊

We recently completed a 2,500-acre thermal drone wildlife survey for a Property Owners Association in Indiana.

Using two drones, we were able to cover the entire property in a single day and provide detailed, data-driven insights on deer population, movement, and distribution.

We located over 240 deer, with some bucks still holding antlers, turkeys and a couple of bobcats on the property.

This data will play a key role in helping the community establish accurate and cull numbers moving forward.

Fast. Efficient. Actionable data.
