Why North Texas Landowners Use Thermal Drone Surveys for MLDP
The **Managed Lands Deer Program (MLDP)** Conservation Option requires accurate deer population data. TPWD biologists use this data to create customized harvest recommendations, which often results in more tags and longer seasons than standard regulations.
Traditional spotlight counts frequently miss deer in thick brush and cedar. Helicopter surveys can be expensive and disturbing to wildlife. Our **thermal drone deer surveys** are flown at night when deer are most active. The thermal cameras detect heat signatures through heavy cover, giving you more complete and accurate counts with minimal disturbance to your herd.
