Southeastern Ohio’s premier thermal drone service for accurate population counts, buck-to-doe ratios, and custom property mapping.
Stop guessing how many deer are on your land. Our high-resolution infrared sensors cut through the canopy to give you an accurate census of total deer density per acre.
We help you balance your herd. Get professional estimates on buck-to-doe ratios and fawn recruitment rates so you can make informed harvest decisions during the season.
Identify your property's hot spots. We pinpoint exactly where your deer are bedding, staging, and traveling without putting human scent on the ground.

Commercial Aerial Infrared:
We deploy enterprise-grade drones equipped with high-resolution thermal imaging and infrared radiometry sensors. Flying well above the tree line, our advanced aircraft operate with absolute stealth—allowing us to cut through dense brush and forest canopies to detect heat signatures without pushing, pressuring, or spooking the wildlife on your property.

Real-Time Population Insights:
Our aerial surveys capture a flawless snapshot of your land's active wildlife ecosystems right now. We record high-definition thermal video and imagery of real-time animal behavior, giving you undeniable visual proof of total deer density, buck-to-doe ratios, and bedding patterns across your entire acreage.

You don't just get a verbal count—you get a master blueprint of your land. Upon completion, you will receive a detailed wildlife data sheet outlining all herd demographics and census counts. Best of all, we build and deliver a custom OnX Hunt folder directly to your account, complete with exact digita
Comprehensive Deliverables & Map Data:
You don't just get a verbal count—you get a master blueprint of your land. Upon completion, you will receive a detailed wildlife data sheet outlining all herd demographics and census counts. Best of all, we build and deliver a custom OnX Hunt folder directly to your account, complete with exact digital drop-pins of sanctuary bedding areas, heavy travel corridors, and buck sightings.
Checking traditional trail cameras or glassing fields leaves behind human scent and inevitably spooks mature bucks. Our advanced aircraft operate at high, non-intrusive altitudes—auditing your entire property with absolute stealth.
Trail cameras only capture what walks directly in front of a single tree. We execute an aerial thermal grid search that covers your entire acreage, including swampy, thick, and completely inaccessible sanctuaries you could never reach on foot.
Get an undisputed snapshot of exactly what is on your land right now. This allows you to plan your food plots, tree stand placements, and hunting strategies based on real-world, current data rather than months of guesswork.
