PR Drone Deer Recovery

12/14/2025

Helped recover this nice eight point shortly after launching. It was toward the end of shooting light and quickly got out of sight after the shot. There wasn't any blood found, so the hunter wisely backed out. The deer was quartered to and the exit wound plugged up, hence the lack of blood.

Congratulations to the hunter!

This was the last recovery of the main fi****ms season. This deer crossed a dirtroad and a couple of fences before expiring 400 yards from where it was shot. We were able to gain permission from the neighboring landowner to retrieve it.

Congratulations to the hunter!

We are heading into one of my favorite times of the season to tag a good buck.

Here is a resource for folks to use to check if an operator is licensed. It would be wise to ask to see their 107 or search their full name in the FAA registry here 👇

*recovery ready for this weekend*

My m30t is still in for a sensor module replacement. On wednesday I was told it could be 2-3 more weeks before I get it back. I overnighted this m4t (newest thermal model from DJI) which has the same base thermal resolution as my m30t.

This has been a sore reminder that I need a back up drone.

Thank you all for the inquiries and those who are referring me.

Shoot me a text or give me a call if I can help.

Not the post I wanted to make for this weekend.

Unfortunately I am grounded and wont be available for recoveries temporarily.

The drone has faulty vision sensors that need to be replaced.

Im expecting a smooth repair and ready to be back in the air by around this time next week.

Feel free to reach out in the meantime. Im happy to share my thoughts and put you in touch with another operator or dog tracker if you'd like.

Good luck to everyone this weekend

Received a couple of calls yesterday and located both bucks.

Both had non fatal wounds and should make full recoveries.

The one below was located around 12 hours after the shot. Hit just behind the scapula and below the spine. Complete pass through. He lost a fair amount of blood and was easily tracked for about a 1/2 mile. The blood appeared to have bubbles in some spots but was likely caused by the blood running through the fur and dripping. We found him about a mile away alert, browsing, and chewing his cud.

I know ive talked about these dreaded high shoulder shots before, but wanted to share how misleading they can be and how a lot of them respond.

Helped get these two nice bucks recovered.

The first buck was found in a few minutes. He ended up laying in some tree tops from recent logging which made the track difficult on the ground.

The second buck was underneath a dense stand of mid-story trees that covered up the canopy from multiple angles. We worked one last angle before we were going to move on (the angle that I should have made first) and picked up the signature.

The deer was dragged to the nearest opening where I could get a clear view of the size of this heavy 140" class 8 point.

Congratulations to both hunters

*copied story*

End of story on the bully 8!
On the morning of Oct 30 We would have the most epic hunt a person could ask for. Took my older brother in on a ridge where bucks had been rutting, and me and dad set on food plot. Right after shooting light I get the text that my brother had smoke an old giant! After watching the buck fall, a bully 8 I've had one camera for 3+ years shows up and begins goring and pushing the dead buck around the woods. Me and dad decide to spot and stock the bully 8. Getting within 50 yards. Dad lets an arrow fly hitting high shoulder. Knowing the shot was fatal but going to take awhile. We called PR drone recovery. About 8 pm Dalton Helms shows up and finds the buck still alive. Leaving him lay over night expecting to find him expired the next morning. After returning the drone finds him 20 yrds from bed from previous night but still alive. After 48 hrs and the next morning PR drone recovery locates the buck in thick bedding and expired! Could not be more happy to share such a wonderful hunt with my dad and brother! Thanks so much for PR drone recovery If not for him the buck is probably not recovered!
