Custom deer management is designed specifically to meet the project goals, whether the client is an individual landowner or a community. We can help select and conduct the appropriate surveys, generate GIS maps, hold public meetings, design habitat enhancements, assess management options, and develop site-specific plans. Our recommendations are based on the principles of Quality Deer Management.
We have coordinated some of the largest-scale surveys in the history of deer and habitat management. Specifically, we've designed and implemented aerial FLIR surveys and habitat browsing surveys. Our experts actually developed the protocols considered the state-of-the-art today in deer density estimation by the pellet group technique and in habitat browsing and regeneration surveys. We've also coauthored numerous reports and publications on the subject.
Some of the techniques we use:
Aerial surveys for deer using daytime or infrared technologies
Baited Camera Surveys
Distance Sampling (Spotlight or Daylight)
Pellet Group Surveys
Browsing and Habitat Surveys
Deer Condition Assessment from Check Stations
Deer Aging
Custom Deer Surveys We can tailor a custom deer survey to meet your needs using the most appropriate technology.
