The "best" time to survey depends on the specific goals of the client.

December–January typically offers cool temperatures and thinner vegetation, which results in better thermal detection and more accurate counts.

However, our wildlife surveys generally have great utility from August–March, with each period offering unique benefits for gathering specific types of data.

Our drone surveys typically achieve a detection rate between 50% and 90% for whitetail deer and other similar game. Several factors influence where a given survey falls within that range, including- weather, terrain, and pilot experience.

By carefully evaluating these variables, we’re able to make an informed assessment of expected accuracy for each project.

Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. Sunlight negatively affects thermal camera performance, leading to a lower detection rate.

If capturing clear daylight images is important to you, we can conclude the thermal game count just before sunrise. After the count, there’s a short window when the sun is up but the ground is still cool enough for effective thermal detection. During this time, we can capture high-quality daylight images.

The flight is typically performed at a rate of 400-500 acres/hour, assuming our standard transect spacing that ensures 100% coverage of the property.

After the flight, we will export the data collected and prepare your personalized report. You can expect to receive a digital copy of your report within 1-7 days following the flight.

A Landowners Agreement (LOA)- "signed consent from the Landowner or Agent to manage a specified number of wildlife or exotic animals from an aircraft on certain property."- TPWD

Signing the LOA is a simple process. After completing our Landowner/Property Info Form, you will receive an email from TPWD requesting authorization for our access to the property. Once you submit the authorization, we are cleared to fly!

Cancellation- Survey deposits are non refundable within 30 days of the scheduled flight. Deposit amounts vary depending on the job size, but typically fall between 10-50%.

Reschedule- Due to the nature of aerial surveys, weather and property logistics may require slight adjustments. If rescheduling is necessary, we will notify clients as soon as possible and prioritize a new date within the same survey window.
