FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT HUNTERS ASK US.
IS DRONE RECOVERY LEGAL IN OKLAHOMA?
Yes, on private property, under the Oklahoma Wildlife Department's rules. We notify the local game warden before and after every search, and every flight is recorded.
HOW LONG AFTER THE SHOT CAN YOU FIND HIM?
Sooner is better. A carcass typically holds detectable heat for up to about 48 hours, but weather and temperature play a big role. Call as soon as you back out.
HOW DO YOU CONFIRM THE ANIMAL IS MINE?
Once thermal finds him, we confirm with our zoom camera, and with a spotlight at night, before we walk you in.
HOW LONG WILL YOU SEARCH?
We find most animals in under 30 minutes, and we carry enough batteries to search for nearly two hours if needed.
CAN I KEEP HUNTING AFTER YOU FLY?
Not in that area that day. State rules close the area to hunting on the day the drone is used. If the animal is found alive, hunting there can't resume for at least 4 hours.
WHAT IF HE'S STILL ALIVE?
The drone lands immediately and the game warden is notified, as the rules require.
CAN YOU SEARCH A WMA OR OTHER PUBLIC LAND?
No. Drones can't take off from, fly over or land on land the Wildlife Department owns or manages.
WHAT IF HE CROSSED ONTO THE NEIGHBOR'S PLACE?
We only search where we have the landowner's permission. We'll help you make that call.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Every recovery is different, so call for a quote. Card payments are due before we head out; cash is due when we arrive.
WHAT DO YOU RECOVER?
Deer, elk, bear and pronghorn.
ARE THERE ANY GUARANTEES?
We guarantee we'll show up quickly and use every resource we have to find your animal. Nobody can honestly guarantee a find.
