Thermal Wildlife & Deer Population Surveys

Vista Metrics provides non-invasive thermal drone surveys to support deer population assessment and land-management decision-making across estates, parkland, and managed woodland.

Using early-morning or dusk thermal flights, we help estates build an evidence-based picture of deer presence, relative numbers, and spatial distribution, without disturbance to animals or the public.

What the survey provides

• Estimated deer count ranges (not absolute claims)

• Spatial distribution and movement patterns

• Identification of key habitat use and corridors

• Annotated thermal and visual imagery

• A concise, defensible report suitable for internal use or consultant input

The approach is designed to complement existing deer-management and forestry practices, not replace them.
