Are you unable to recover your deer or during hunting? Have a lost pet/livestock? We can help!

Drone animal recovery from hunting is not invasive and does not spook or push wounded animals. The drone altitude is high and the drones are relative quiet. The camera systems on board are hi resolution and are RGB and thermal cameras. If you can provide the general location that the animal may have run off to, the odds of recovery increase dramatically (as is a good description of the animal you shot).

Typically, animal are located via the thermal camera since the contrast is very high against their natural background. Once a high probability heat source in located, the RGB visible cameras with spotlights and high zoom factor) can positively identify the target. The faster the search begins, the higher success rate the searches usually yield. Night time usually yields better thermal contrast when compared to a sunny day.

This drone technology prevents pushing wounded animals in to the next county due to the stealth of the drone. Blood trails are not required for this type of search. This search can cover way more ground than by foot and can be done much faster. Latitude/longitudes can be provided of the down animal along with a visual representation on the electronic map.

For herd analysis, the method is similar. We locate first, then positively ID and count the bucks/does. Due to the stealth nature of the drone, the animals are undisturbed and easier to locate and ID. Having the proper buck to doe ratio is critical to managing a healthy herd.

The same method applies to pet recovery, but since pets are always moving and can cover larger distances, the search is more challenging.
