TTT – Trap, Transport, and Transplant Permits If your property currently has a very low deer density, you may be eligible for a TTT permit. This permit allows for the capture and movement of wild deer from one property to another. The main purpose of this permit is for restocking efforts. However, in certain cases it may provide a great jump start to the genetics of your native herd.
DMP – Management Program Deer Management Permit authorizes owners of high fenced properties to temporarily detain white-tailed deer in breeding pens located on the property for the purpose of natural breeding. Deer may not be detained for purposes that do not include natural breeding (i.e. “soft release” of bred TTT deer.) Participation in the DMP program requires a Deer Management plan that must be approved and signed by an authorized Wildlife Biologist or Technician.
TTP – Trap, Transplant, and Process Permits The Trap, Transport & Process is a mechanism to help reduce deer population in areas where white-tailed deer are overpopulated. Through the use of this permit, areas with surplus white-tailed deer can capture surplus deer, process their carcasses, and donate the resulting venison to penal facilities or charitable organizations for human consumption.

Wildlife Survey
A helicopter survey is most accurate to calculate harvest recommendations for deer and exotics.
Helicopter deer surveys are effectively utilized to obtain buck to doe ratio, fawn production, antler development of bucks, distribution of animals on ranch, and the vegetation condition of the ranch. “An aerial survey provides necessary population data in a short time frame. This information can be utilized to provide harvest recommendations for the entire ranch as well as individual pastures.” –Texas Parks and Wildlife
The most important finding is that helicopter surveys result in a significant undercount of the deer present on a property.
Flown in transect lines, helicopter deer surveys are taken at a 50 ft. elevation through GPS coordination to ensure full coverage of your property during survey. The Season for Wildlife Surveys runs from September 1st- March 30th For more information on pricing or procedures, please do not hesitate to drop us a line at info@dragonflyaviationllc.com
