Invasive Wildlife & Predator Monitoring
Drone-Based Thermal Monitoring for Ranches & Large Properties
J&E Tex Drones LLC provides drone-based invasive wildlife and predator monitoring services designed to help ranch owners, land managers, and large-property stakeholders better understand wildlife activity across expansive acreage. These services provide aerial observation and documentation only and do not include wildlife control, harassment, removal, or intervention.
J&E Tex Drones LLC provides aerial data collection and visual documentation services only.
All services are observational in nature and designed to support planning, recordkeeping, and consultation with licensed wildlife professionals and landowners.
Using advanced aerial and thermal imaging technology, we document the presence, movement patterns, and activity zones of invasive species and predators with minimal disturbance to the land and surrounding environment. Our services deliver reliable visual intelligence that supports informed planning, risk assessment, and long-term land management decisions.
Technology & Equipment
All monitoring operations are conducted using enterprise-grade unmanned aircraft systems equipped with advanced thermal and visual imaging technologies designed for precision data capture in challenging environments.
Key Capabilities:
High-resolution thermal imaging to identify thermal signatures
Visual imaging for daytime documentation and terrain reference
Precision GPS-based flight planning and repeatable routes
Onboard spotlight for low-light and evening operations
Stable enterprise platform designed for large-area coverage
This technology allows us to effectively monitor wildlife activity during early morning, evening, nighttime, and shaded conditions, when invasive species and predators are often most active.
What We Monitor & Document
Our aerial monitoring services can assist with identifying and documenting:
Invasive wildlife presence across large rural properties
Predator activity zones and movement corridors
High-traffic and repeat-activity areas
Habitat utilization and terrain interaction
Seasonal and environmental influence on wildlife behavior
All observations are documented using non-intrusive aerial methods that minimize stress on animals and disruption to land operations.
Operational Approach
Each mission is planned using structured flight paths and documented observation zones to ensure consistent, repeatable results. This approach allows property owners to compare data over time and identify trends or changes in activity.
Typical Deliverables May Include:
Annotated thermal and visual imagery
Documented observation areas and activity zones
Visual records suitable for review, planning, and long-term reference
Deliverables are provided in a clear, professional format to support land management discussions, operational planning, and decision-making.
Use Cases
This service is commonly utilized by:
Ranch owners managing large acreage
Land managers monitoring invasive species activity
Property stakeholders planning mitigation strategies
Agricultural and rural property operations
Aerial monitoring provides a broader perspective that complements traditional ground-based observation methods.
Low-Impact & Responsible Operations
All operations are conducted using non-intrusive, low-impact aerial methods designed to minimize disturbance to wildlife, livestock, and land operations.
All monitoring flights are conducted with a focus on:
Low-impact, non-intrusive aerial operations
Responsible altitude and flight planning
Compliance with applicable FAA regulations
Respect for land use and property boundaries
Our goal is to deliver actionable intelligence while preserving the integrity of the land and surrounding environment.
