Drone Deer Survey vs Trail Camera Cost

Is a Drone Survey Cheaper than a Trail Camera Survey? Many landowners underestimate the true cost of a traditional herd survey. Between purchasing hardware, paying monthly data subscriptions, and the weekly expense of hauling corn, the bills add up fast.

We built a calculator to help you crunch the numbers for a standard 4-month hunting season. Adjust the property size and your current costs to see how much time and money you could save with a professional drone deer survey.

Note:

1. The calculation uses the standard of 1 camera per 100 acres. If you run a higher density of cameras, your savings with a drone will be even higher.
2. We understand that most "trail camera surveys" are conducted over a 10-day period — but you will still have the trail cameras, the cost for the subscriptions, and the cost for the corn for the remainder of the season.
3. The calculation does NOT take into account your time, the cost of fuel to fill the feeders, battery replacement, or the vehicle to get you to the property!
