SERVICES
Calvary Wildlife Drone Services, LLC provides a wide array of commercial drone services to the public. While our primary focus is working with hunters and landowners through wildlife management and downed deer recoveries, we also stand ready to provide such services as surveying the extent of hog invasion on your property, searching for lost pets or livestock, and showcasing your home and property with aerial photography and videography.
Drones are fast becoming mission-critical tools for a multitude of wildlife and property management operations. From herd management, to pre-season scouting, post-shot recovery, feral hog patterning, and property stewardship and showcasing, drones extend range, speed, and safety. Thermal payloads, zoom optics, and night lighting give teams real-time data from drones for deer recovery, pet/livestock locating, aerial property assessments, and feral hog remediation. Flights allow you to gather information, document decisions, reduce ground/animal disturbance, and support rapid ethical recovery.
Whatever your needs are, we stand ready to assist you
Whitetail Recovery
No one wants to have a bad shot, resulting in a wounded animal being out in the woods suffering. When the blood trails fades out or the deer takes a dive into thick cover, it can seem impossible to find it.
When this happens, ethical hunting standards dictate that you use every means at your disposal to locate and recover them.
Drone use is an innovative method of searching for and aiding in the recovery of a lost harvested animals. Drones allow for you to:
In recovering your deer, our drone will allow us to
Speed the recovery of the downed animal, avoiding spoilage due to warm weather or being ruined by predator animals
Use thermal imagery, NIR and white light cameras to locate and determine condition of the target animal
Conduct a search of the area without disturbing the natural habitat, vegetation, and other wildlife in the area
Search difficult, hard to access terrain in low light conditions using thermal imaging, spotlights and 8K imagery
Once located, drone can use GPS tracking to pinpoint the location and provide a pin to your favorite hunting app
Avoid "bumping" a wounded animal farther away or into more difficult terrain
Easily pick up the body heat of a downed deer entirely hidden from ground-level sight
Help guide you into the area and provide an aerial view of the carcass location to ease the recovery process
Deer Herd Census
Whether you’re a landowner, animal conservationist, or serious hunter, understanding your whitetail herd is key to smarter habitat, harvest, and hunting decisions.
Forget guesswork, trail cams, or secondhand sightings—our thermal drone-powered herd analysis delivers real, accurate, and pressure-free data.
With no habitat disturbance and unmatched aerial precision, we can give you the intel to assess and manage your whitetail herd and land using detailed analytics, making every acre count.
An aerial analysis of your whitetail herd will
Utilize advanced drone technology to provide accurate and detailed insights into deer populations
Gather such information as buck-to-doe ratio, birth rates, buck habitats, and movement trends in the area
Conduct a detailed survey of large areas in a short amount of time
Search difficult, hard to access terrain in low light conditions using thermal imaging, spotlights and 8K imagery
Conduct the search with minimal disturbance of wildlife in the target habitat
Be a more cost effective method of search compared to traditional methods such as the use of a helicopter surveys
Provide a more accurate data than standard trail cams, which gives you an estimate of your deer population
Assess water and soil conditions such as erosion and water source stressors
Hog Invasion Patterning
Feral hogs can have a significant negative impact on some livestock operations through depredation and damage to facilities and fences. Farmers and ranchers also share a significant portion of the damage caused by the rooting of fields, depredation of crops, and the destruction of fences. But the biggest impact of feral hogs is how they displace native wildlife and compete for limited food resources.
We can work with you as the landowner/steward to identify the scope of your feral hog population, and provide you with the information you need to combat this invasive creature.
Knowing is half the battle. We able to
Use unmanned aerial vehicles to assess large tracts of agricultural land/ hunting areas
Capture aerial photography to create a chronological assessment of the property's conditions
Identify and map areas of rooting damage with drones for feral hog mitigation plans
Track feral sounder movement and activity trends through the property
An aerial analysis of your whitetail herd will
Collect aerial images of the property to give you a detailed tracking of the extent of damage
Use thermal imaging to see the hog population, even when under the coverage of foliage
Provide more accurate data than standard trail cams, which gives you an estimate of your hog population
Highlight large sounders moving on and through your property
Pet/Livestock Recovery
There are many reasons why pets might go missing. Reasons can range from escape through an open door or gate, fright from fireworks or thunderstorms, to natural disasters. Pets can stray or be frightened away from their normal environment.
If there is a break in the fence line, a cow and horse will find it. When natural disasters strike, livestock can spook, break fence, stampede, and become separated from their home range/pastures. During calving season, cows can become determined to find a "safe" location to birth their calf.
Whatever the reason, when an animal is lost, time is of the essence in the recovery operations.
When a pet or livestock goes missing, we will
Use unmanned aerial vehicles to survey large areas of land rapidly
Conduct a detailed, systematic search pattern of the target location and surrounding terrain
Use thermographic imagery and high definition cameras in the rapid detection of the lost animal
Continue the search in low light environment using our thermal and NIR camera systems
Avoid a lost/scared animal from being bumped/ pushed during the recovery search
If multiple heat sources are detected, confirm the identify, condition and location of the recover animal
When the pet or livestock is found, provide a location pin to your favorite GPS app for recovery
Use drone's aerial perspective to identify potential routes for recovery and guide you to their location
Property Stewardship
Having stewardship of a property brings with it a large share of responsibility. Landowners (operators) have to know the condition of such things as the land itself, crops, infrastructure, livestock, and construction projects.
Drones can improve farm/land management by providing the stewards with aerial imagery of their property. This perspective allows for the assessment of and response to issues/conditions that impact the land in a rapid response to minimize damage.
Drones can be used to monitor construction projects, allowing you to track their progress. They also allow you to showcase your property in a unique manner that draws attention to any real estate listing.
When a pet or livestock goes missing, we will
Knowing what you have is critical. We will help to
Provide a high resolution wide view, top down aerial perspective of the property showcasing it's attributes
Track livestock current locations and conditions, habits, use of and movement on the property
Monitor the property for such conditions as pest infestations, erosion and water source stressors
Document the condition of property infrastructure such as buildings, structures and fence lines
Rapidly assess hard-to-reach areas, identify damage quickly, and monitor pastures and cash crop health
If multiple heat sources are detected, confirm the identify, condition and location of the recover animal
Capture images from various altitudes, distances, and directions of your property/ project(s)
Capture detailed imagery to monitor progress, gather data, and highlight construction projects
