Thermal Game Count

Our base offering achieves more accurate wildlife counts by harnessing advanced thermal imaging technology to identify animals even through thick brush.

About this service

Detect what others can't

Drone-mounted advanced thermal optics provide insights into your animal populations like never before. Our high-resolution thermal cameras detect bedded or camouflaged animals that would otherwise remain invisible to the human eye, making this a non-invasive method that outperforms traditional wildlife survey techniques, especially in thick cover.

Detailed heat signature outlines allow our experienced team to differentiate bucks vs. does, fawns vs. mature animals, and even distinguish multiple species using thermal imaging alone.

How it works

From flight plan to final report

1

Plan

We coordinate with you on property and pasture boundaries as well as access points, then build a pre-planned, GPS-guided flight route that ensures 100% coverage of your property.

2

Fly

We survey at night or in the early morning, when heat contrast is sharpest. The thermal camera detects bedded and camouflaged animals invisible to the human eye, even through thick brush.

3

Report

You receive a detailed final report with initial and reviewed counts, flight details and map, as well as 3-5 high-resolution thermal images. We also provide a link to download the full flight footage.

What you get

A report you can actually use

Used by landowners and lease members across Texas to inform wildlife management decisions. The final report can be submitted directly to regional biologists for Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) Managed Land Deer (MLD) Program survey requirements, or provided to county appraisal districts as part of a 1-D-1 wildlife exemption.
