Thermal drone lost pet search and deer recovery across southern Ohio, eastern Kentucky and West Virginia. Call or text for immediate response, day or night.
Scared pets hide and won't come when called. From the air, a thermal camera picks up a dog or cat's body heat in woods, fields, creek beds and brush piles, then we guide you to the spot.
Lost the blood trail? We fly the area where your deer ran and find its heat signature, even in thick cover, so you can recover your deer before coyotes or spoilage do.
A national drone industry outlet featured our thermal searches for missing pets, loose livestock and wounded deer across the tri-state, and the verified Kentucky thermal pilot map we built to help owners avoid scammers.

Each hunting season we publish a map of verified thermal drone pilots across Kentucky, so hunters can call a licensed, properly equipped local pilot instead of an unlicensed, under-equipped flyer who doesn’t know what they’re doing, or worse, a scammer in the comments. Every pilot on the 2026–2027 map has an FAA Part 107 license and the right thermal equipment, and pilots who also do deer herd analysis are marked.
Message us with your business name, county, phone number, a photo of your thermal drone and your Part 107 certificate. We verify every pilot before the map goes out.
