Every hunter knows the feeling. You make a good shot, the deer kicks hard, and you’re sure it’s down. Then the blood trail thins. The brush gets thicker. Hours later, you’re left with nothing but questions.
At Vantage Recon, we built our Wounded Game Recovery service for moments like this. Using advanced thermal drones, we locate animals that would otherwise be nearly impossible to recover. Our cameras detect even faint heat signatures through heavy cover, bedding areas, and nighttime darkness. What once required hours of tracking now takes a fraction of the time,
with a much higher success rate.
When you call us for a recovery, we mobilize quickly. Our drone pilots scan the property using thermal and daylight imaging to search areas where a wounded animal is most likely to travel or bed. We review every heat signature from above to confirm if it’s your deer. Once located, we help direct you in for the recovery, or provide exact coordinates so you can walk straight to the animal.
• Rapid deployment so time doesn’t cost you your deer
• Drones that detect animals invisible to the human eye
• Ability to find game in thick woods, ravines, or across large acreage
• Experienced operators who understand deer movement and recovery strategy
• Ethical hunting support that prevents wasted meat and lost trophies
Our recovery services are built for:
• Individual hunters who want peace of mind during every hunt
• Outfitters and guides who need dependable recovery support for their clients
• Ranches and landowners who want to ensure ethical harvests on their property
Losing a deer isn’t just about losing a trophy. It’s wasted meat, wasted time, and a lost opportunity for proper herd management. Our service gives hunters and landowners confidence that every animal harvested can be recovered, even under the toughest circumstances.
Knowing you have Vantage Recon on call changes the way you hunt. Instead of wondering “what if,” you know you’ve got the most advanced recovery tool available. Whether it’s the buck of a lifetime or an important management deer, we’re here to make sure your efforts don’t go to waste.
