FAQs
Is this legal?
Absolutely! According to Indiana state law, using UAVs (drones) for game recovery is completely legal. For more details, please check out our “Legal” tab.
Is it 100% certain you will find my deer?
We wish we could say yes, but nothing in life is 100%. However, our FAA-licensed pilots with intense training will give it their all. While we can't guarantee a find, we can promise that our services significantly boost the odds of recovering your deer.
What if you find my deer and it's not dead?
Great question! There’s a bit of a gray area here. In Indiana, drones are allowed strictly for game recovery. If we find a wounded animal, it’s no longer about recovery but hunting. We'll advise you on Indiana state law and the next steps.
How long after death can the drone locate a deer?
Timing is everything! Ideally, the sooner, the better. In some cases, we’ve found deer up to 40 hours post-mortem. Plus, Indiana now permits the use of thermal drones for recovery, improving our chances even more!
What equipment do you use?
We bring out the big guns (figuratively speaking)! Our drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and cutting-edge thermal imaging technology to make the hunt (for your game) a success.
How do I schedule a drone recovery service?
Easy peasy! Contact us through our website or give us a call. The sooner you reach out after losing your game, the better the chances of a successful recovery.
What areas do you serve?
We’ve got all of Indiana covered! Need help outside the state? Contact us for availability—we might just be able to help.
What are your rates for drone recovery services?
Our rate is $400 per service. This includes our initial search effort. If more data is obtained and a return visit is necessary, we come back out free of charge.
How long does a typical search take?
It varies! Depending on the area size and terrain, a search can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. We’re thorough, so patience pays off!
Are there any restrictions on when you can fly the drones?
Safety first! We avoid flying during heavy rain, strong winds, or low visibility. Plus, we strictly follow all FAA regulations for drone operations.
What should I do while waiting for the drone recovery service to arrive?
Stay put and keep the area undisturbed! This helps preserve the scene and increases the chances of a successful recovery.
Do you provide services for recovering other types of game?
You bet! We recover various types of game. Just let us know your specific needs, and we’ll see if we can assist.
