Yes. We operate in strict compliance with Wisconsin DNR regulations. Drones are used solely to locate deceased game after a shot has been taken, never for scouting or hunting. To ensure complete legal compliance, we do not fly while weapons are present, and operations cease immediately if an animal is found alive.

Use thermal recovery when a blood trail is lost or terrain is hard to navigate so you can ethically locate downed game in compliance with DNR regulations.

Thermal drones provide a fast, non‑invasive way to locate game in difficult terrain while adhering to DNR ethics. This technology efficiently scans large areas, reducing recovery time compared to traditional tracking methods.

Response time depends on your location and weather, but for urgent recoveries we prioritize your call and mobilize as quickly as conditions and regulations allow.

While we know an unsuccessful recovery is disappointing, our service still provides valuable documentation by accurately mapping the area covered so you can determine your next recovery steps with clarity.
