From observation to a usable record
Know how many. See where.
Keep the record.
A documented baseline
A count of deer observed during the survey window helps support habitat decisions, harvest planning, and comparisons with future surveys.
Locations you can revisit
Geotagged observations are delivered in a KML mapping file for compatible mapping software, so you can review where wildlife was documented.
Results you can reference
A company-issued herd census certificate records the survey. Standard adds the buck-to-doe ratio; Premium also includes geotagged buck photographs.
A survey documents animals observed; it does not guarantee a complete property population count. Vegetation, weather, terrain, and animal movement affect what can be detected and classified.

How far ahead can I schedule?
Surveys are scheduled no more than three days in advance. Overcast daytime conditions are preferred, and the pilot may reschedule for weather or field conditions. You can contact us earlier to discuss your property and survey goals.
Can you document wildlife besides deer?
Yes. Optional observations may include turkey, black bear, coyote, and feral hogs. Discuss the species and desired geotagging or imagery when requesting your quote. Documentation depends on what is observed during the survey.
How do I use the mapping file?
The geotagged mapping deliverable is a KML file. Open or import it in compatible mapping software to review documented wildlife locations alongside your property information.
When is payment due?
Payment is due when your survey deliverables are provided. Accepted methods listed in the packet are cash, Venmo, credit card, and PayPal.
