Drone Services

Drones have revolutionized wildlife management, providing new ways to monitor, evaluate, and care for deer populations. From recovering wounded deer to conducting herd evaluations, mapping terrains, and planning land management, drones offer precision, efficiency, and safety.

Wounded Deer Recovery

Recovering wounded deer can be a challenging and time-sensitive task. Traditionally, this process involves tracking wounded animals through dense forests and rugged terrains, which can be dangerous and inefficient.

Thermal Imaging: Equipped with thermal cameras, drones can quickly locate wounded deer by detecting their heat signatures, even in dense vegetation or low light conditions.
Real-Time Monitoring: Drones provide real-time video feeds, allowing teams to plan the safest and most effective recovery routes.
Minimized Disturbance: Unlike ground teams, drones operate quietly and with minimal disturbance to the surrounding wildlife, ensuring that the already stressed deer are not further traumatized

Deer Herd Evaluations

Understanding the health and dynamics of deer herds is critical for wildlife management. Accurate data on herd size, movement patterns, and habitat use helps in making informed decisions to maintain balanced ecosystems.

Aerial Surveys: Drones can cover large areas quickly, capturing high-resolution images and videos that are analyzed to estimate herd sizes, identify age structures, and assess health conditions.
Behavioral Observations: Without the presence of humans, drones can observe natural behaviors within herds, providing more accurate data on social interactions and movement patterns.
Reproductive Assessments: Drones can monitor breeding seasons more effectively, allowing for the identification of key reproductive behaviors and the timing of fawning.

Mapping and Terrain Analysis

Effective land management relies on detailed and up-to-date maps that show the characteristics of the terrain and vegetation. Traditional mapping methods can be time-consuming and less accurate, especially in hard-to-reach areas.

High-Resolution Mapping: Drones can create detailed 3D maps of landscapes, showing elevation changes, vegetation types, and water sources. These maps are crucial for planning land use, habitat conservation, and controlled burns.
Vegetation Analysis: By using multispectral imaging, drones can assess the health of vegetation, identifying areas that may need restoration or protection.
Water Management: Drones can help identify and map water bodies, streams, and drainage patterns, which are essential for managing deer habitats and ensuring the availability of fresh water.

Land Management Planning

Strategic land management is key to creating and maintaining environments that support healthy deer populations. Drones offer valuable insights that enhance the planning process.

Monitoring Changes: Drones can regularly monitor landscapes to detect changes over time, such as erosion, deforestation, or the encroachment of invasive species. This information is vital for adapting land management plans as needed.
Identifying Habitat Corridors: Drones help identify natural corridors that deer use to travel between habitats, allowing managers to protect these pathways and ensure they remain open and safe.
Controlled Burns and Reforestation: By providing detailed maps and monitoring capabilities, drones aid in planning and executing controlled burns and reforestation efforts, which are essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems.
