In deer drone recovery, a thermal drone pilot flies a heat-imaging camera over the area to locate a wounded, downed or bedded deer. Legality varies by state and season, so a reputable pilot will tell you upfront what they can and cannot do where you hunt.
Most pilots charge a call-out fee plus an hourly or per-search rate, with mileage past a set radius. Cold, calm nights produce the best thermal contrast and the highest success rates.
Thermal works best once the ground cools and the animal is still holding heat. Wait for dark if you can, and keep people out of the area so the pilot is not chasing your own heat signatures.
