Thermal Deer Recovery
Dayton, Ohio’s #1 Drone Deer Recovery Service
Using a drone for deer recovery offers hunters a plethora of benefits that could greatly enhance their hunting experience. Our drone utilizes thermal imaging to detect heat signatures, enabling pilots to locate injured or downed deer with remarkable efficiency. Unlike traditional recovery methods, thermal drones can effectively scan large areas and dense foliage, making it easier to pinpoint the exact location of the deer. This not only saves precious time but also increases the chances of successful recovery. Moreover, thermal drones minimize the risk of losing a wounded animal in low-light conditions, as they are equipped with night vision capabilities, and a spotlight. With our ability to cover vast terrains in almost any weather conditions, we can always get the job done. We are outfitted to the point that we are able to stay and fly until the deer is located, day or night. It is our goal to make sure you have your hard earned game in your hands, and meat in your freezer!
We have tracked down deer that were shot up to 48 hours before we started looking, but we highly recommend reaching out to us as soon as you lose a blood trail or confidence in tracking. This helps prevent bumping the deer if they are wounded and reduces the chance of losing them for good.
We are currently servicing the following counties in Ohio:
Miami, Montgomery, Clark, Darke, Champaign, Warren, Butler, Preble, and Shelby County in Ohio.

Thermal Pet Searches
Using industry leading thermal technology with the ability to identify subjects as small as squirrels and birds, we can efficiently search target areas and locate your missing pet. We are open to searching for all pets from cats and dogs to horses and other livestock. Our M30T gives us the advantage of covering mass acreage during day or night. Rain or shine. The thermal sensor is most efficient on overcast days or during night time hours in rural areas that provide plenty of foliage for animals to hide in.
As pet owners that have had a few go missing for days/ weeks at a time, we wanted to offer this service to the local communities as we know how important our four legged friends are to our family!
Pet Searches are available anywhere sufficient airspace clearance is obtainable.

Deer Herd Analysis
Thermal Deer Herd Analysis: Unlocking the Benefits for Your Property
When it comes to managing the natural resources of our properties, keeping a close eye on the deer population is essential. This is where thermal drone deer herd analysis steps in, revolutionizing wildlife management techniques. By harnessing the power of thermal imaging technology, this innovative approach provides numerous benefits for property owners.
One of the major advantages of thermal drone herd analysis is its ability to accurately estimate deer density. Traditional population surveys often fall short due to the elusive nature of deer. However, thermal imaging can detect the heat signatures emitted by these animals, enabling property owners to obtain an accurate count. This data is crucial for making informed decisions regarding habitat preservation, hunting regulations, and land use planning.
Furthermore, thermal drone deer herd analysis allows for the identification of key deer movement patterns. Through sophisticated aerial surveys, these drones provide visual representations of how deer traverse the property. Understanding these patterns helps in strategic placement of feeders, hunting blinds, or even setting up exclusion zones to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. This level of knowledge can significantly enhance safety measures for both humans and deer.
In addition, thermal drone analysis provides valuable insight into deer behavior during different seasons and times of the day. The ability to monitor their activities remotely allows property owners to gain a deeper understanding of feeding habits, bedding areas, and travel routes. Armed with this knowledge, landowners can make educated decisions on habitat management, improving food plots or setting up sanctuaries to foster deer population growth.
Overall, the utilization of thermal drone deer herd analysis offers a multitude of benefits for wildlife management on your property. From accurate population estimates to identifying movement patterns and gaining a better understanding of deer behavior, this innovative technology empowers landowners to make informed decisions. As we continue to evolve in our approach to sustaining healthy ecosystems, thermal drones pave the way for increasingly effective and efficient management practices.
