What 1 YEAR of Thermal Whitetail Research Taught Me

  I've got some questions but lets start with the main one; How is one guy keeping track of multiple mature bucks by himself with only a drone? I have limited experience with drones but know their battery life is not good. I have no idea how a person can track multiple bucks all day long, day after day with a drone? He would literally have to do nothing else from daylight til dark, every day and have a busload of batteries and chargers. I also think that tracking collars revealing data 24 hours a day are the best option at this time and admit that thermal drones also serve a valuable purpose. I applaud the effort and dont want to be negative but I am skeptical until I hear more details. With that said, I am intrigued enough to subscribe.

  I'm going to call it now: This guys research is going to be significant and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. I'll be watching EVERY video. Probably multiple times and taking notes.

  This kid instantly became one of the big dogs in big buck content. His objective content rivals and possibly surpasses the Mississippi state gps professors. I noticed your subscribers tripled within a matter of hours.😮

  This is the kind of content bow hunters are craving.  Visual analysis with data to back it up. Cutting edge and professional.  Can't wait for your next video. Congratulations on starting your journey to becoming the hottest Deer hunting podcast.

  Thats what i like about 2025. A smart and capable person can do something big by himself with relatively  little investments.  No need for a degree, a big team, contacts that take 20 years to build & many other things that not so long ago would have been a must.

  Since its all on video and the deer have no idea they are being filmed , this research is going to blow to pieces much of the information  that whitetail "experts" have been spouting and profiting from for years as "facts".  If nothing else, it will be entertaining to watch that happen in real time.

  Brooooooo... 10/10 in this video. &nbsp;I can&apos;t imagine the editing time this took - the creativity was awesome... audio quality... tables and tracking data overlays... timing, pace, etc... &nbsp;This is going to take a minute to get going... but you&apos;re going to crush it with YouTube over time. &nbsp;Keep it up... it will suck at times... but you have all the tools for this to change your life. &nbsp;I don&apos;t even know you but I&apos;m stoked for what you can do from here.
