Yes, being equipped with infrared sensors, drones can locate animals in dense forests by detecting body heat, making them invaluable for search missions in areas where visibility is limited.
Our drones are used for aerial reconnaissance, offering real-time aerial views to locate an animal and assess the best course for rescue/recovery.
Our drones use thermal imagery cameras to detect heat signatures from animals, especially in low-visibility conditions like fog, smoke, heavy foliage and darkness.
Our drones are equipped with high-resolution visual and thermal camera, allowing it to capture detailed imagery and detect heat signatures.
These capabilities allow us to search vast areas and pinpoint the location of the animal being sought.
Our drones are capable of capturing real-time data that includes pictures, live-stream video, and the ability to forward this information quickly to those on the ground.
Our drones can fly in almost any kind of weather or hazardous environments where those on foot might not be able to adequately be able to search.

Deer Recovery Service
Our deer recovery search service is an on-demand service. While we attempt to get to every search in a timely manner, we provide deer recovery searches on a first come, first serve basis. Seeing as deer hold their body heat up to 72 hours (3-days), we will get to your search well within that time frame.
