Becoming a Pilot

Licensed Operators are independent contractors. We provide: 

  • Training and DDR Certification
  • Ongoing Support
  • Marketing and PR
  • Leads and Service Request

In order to ensure our existing operators are successful - we are not licensing applicants within 50 miles of an existing operator.

Mike made over $50,000 in ten weeks of last season - and now we are teaching everything we know to licensed operators that are joining our team.

Recovering your deer with a thermal drone

Deer Carcass Recovery Information
  • Our thermal drones are effective at night or in daytime overcast conditions. When the sun is out everything heats up and thermal cameras are ineffective.
  • Most fatal shots result in the deer not moving beyond 1,000 yards if he's not pushed. Our recovery rate for lethal shots are very high in these conditions.
  • In cases of non-lethal shots, deer can travel up to a few miles. In those situations, you can be confident the deer is not dead, and you will probably see it appear on trail cameras in a week or two.
  • In the early season, when leaves are still on the trees thermal searches are much more difficult, with drones being unable to see through heavy trees.

Cost Breakdown

  • $450 base fee.
  • $100 fee if deer is located dead or alive.
  • $1/mile beyond 60 round trip miles.

NOTICE: Our service is designed to locate your carcass only - You will be required to sign a waiver stating that if your deer is wounded but not dead, you will not hunt or pursue it until the following day.

Locating a missing person

Thermal Drones do well in the following:
  • You know the general area where the missing person may be (for example -  believed to be within a mile or two of the hunting lodge).
  • Rural or wooded environments
Thermal Drones may struggle in the following:
  • Urban environments
  • Heavy wooded area with leaves on the trees
  • No general idea of where person might be (for example - lost somewhere on a mountain range

Price for Missing Persons Recovery is $450 + $100 if found + travel expenses for up to 2 hours of searching.

Locating missing pets or livestock

Thermal Drones do well in the following:
  • You know the general area where the lost pet is is
  • Rural or wooded environments
  • Leaves are off the trees
  • Pet still has body heat to pick up
Thermal Drones may struggle in the following:
  • Urban environments
  • Heavy wooded area (when leaves are still on the trees)
  • No general idea of where lost pet might be (for example - lost somewhere on a mountain range)
  • Pet has been missing for more than a few days.

Base price for Pet/Livestock Recovery is $450 + $100 if we are able to locate your pet + travel expenses. Up to 2 hours of searching is covered.

Vermin Control

Thermal Drones do well in the following:
  • You know the general area where the vermin may be.
  • Agriculture and rural environments
  • Leaves are off the trees (or lightly wooded areas when trees still have their leaves)
  • Vermin is the size of a groundhog or bigger.
Thermal drones may struggle in the following
  • Urban environments
  • Heavy wooded area with leaves on the trees
  • Vermin are underground/nested in trees.
  • Vermin are only active during daylight hours (thermal drones still very effective in overcast conditions) 

Base price for lost Vermin Control is $450 + travel expenses for up to 2 hours of searching.

Conducting Herd Analysis

Information about Herd Analysis
  • Herd analysis is best done during the day, so that it’s easier and faster to identify bucks or doe.
  • Conducting the analysis in a 4-6 hour period or less is necessary to minimize duplicates.
  • Scheduling can be difficult as it is dependent on overcast weather for the entirety of the analysis.
  • Price variables include travel  and type of topography. For instance, dense woods can take much longer to accurately scan through than open fields.

For 750 acres or less:

  • You’ll coordinate directly with a  local licensed operator who will complete the herd count in a single day.

For 1,000+ acres:

  • We’ll coordinate with multiple pilots from our network of licensed operators, to fly your entire property in 4-6 hours or less. This is necessary to avoid duplicate counts.

Licensed Operators are Independent Contractors

We provide them with

  • Training and DDR Certification
  • Ongoing Support
  • Marketing and PR
  • Leads and Service Request

In order to ensure our existing operators are successful - we are not licensing applicants within 50 miles of an existing operator. In the future, as demand for the service grows, we will add additional operators.

Mike made over $50,000 in ten weeks of last season - and now we are teaching everything we know to licensed operators that are joining our team.

Other Thermal Drone Services

Our thermal drones have many applications. If it involves something that gives off heat - chances are we can help in some way. Other applications of thermal drones are the identifying and prevention of poaching or theft.

Base price for other Search and Rescue applications vary by type of mission.

What's the Address?

Are you meeting at your property, cabin, by the road at a gas station somewhere else? Let the operator know where he's going. If on-site doesn't make sense, choose a nearby meeting within a few miles - IE gas station or easy to find meeting place. Once the operator is assigned, you'll be able to text him directly.
