Real Searches. Honest Outcomes.

How It Works
Thermal drone imaging helps us search for downed deer and identify possible recovery locations. Visibility and search time depend on cover, terrain, weather and time since the shot; recovery is not guaranteed.
Aerial Search Initiation
Our drone team deploys thermal imaging technology to scan for heat signatures from downed deer.
Thermal Search
We scan the search area for heat signatures that may indicate a downed deer. Dense brush and canopy can limit thermal visibility. When a deer is located, we provide its position to help coordinate recovery.
On-Site Coordination
We provide real-time guidance to ensure a swift and ethical recovery process.
Game Recovery Completion
If a downed deer is located, we provide its location and help coordinate retrieval with appropriate property access. Search results vary with conditions.
