205 Aerial Drone Deer Recovery

🦌 Mature Buck Alert!

One of the nicer bucks we've been watching appears to have made it through another season and is already starting to grow antlers. There's nothing quite like seeing a familiar mature buck show back up on camera each summer.

Looking forward to tracking his progress over the coming months.

The antlers are starting to take shape! 🦌

A few of the bucks on our property are beginning to show some noticeable growth. It'll be fun to watch how they develop throughout the summer and see what they look like by fall.

Yesterday I spent some time watching a buck and shared a few pointers for people wanting to get into drone deer recovery. One of the biggest things you can do right now before season starts is simply watch deer. Learn how they move, where they bed, how they react, and how they use the wind and terrain. Time in the woods matters. 🦌🚁

Spent some more time watching these bucks on June 7th as their antlers continue to grow in. Always amazing seeing the changes happen throughout the summer. These guys are definitely headed in the right direction. 🦌

Another look at some bucks on the property from June 7th. Their antlers are developing fast now, and it won’t be long before they’re carrying some impressive racks. Always amazing watching the transformation through the summer. 🦌

Spent some time watching these younger bucks out on the property and their antlers are already starting to come in. Always cool seeing the growth start this time of year. Video was taken June 7, 2026. 🦌
