We have another happy ending! We were called out to conduct a search for Galaxy on Wednesday and she was found within 50 mins. Sadly she ran from the owner and wont come close. We decided to back out the search knowing her location to set up a trap with bait and a camera. Five days had passed and watching the camera and putting fresh food in the trap daily she wouldn't commit to it. We received word from the owner Jennifer Johnson tonight that her son open the front door to go outside and Galaxy came barreling in the house to go to bed. We have never seen anything like it! We are so happy she had returned back home!

A successful recovery for an elderly lady's cat who had been missing for a day. Within 30 mins of our search we ended up finding him off in a cutover about 550 yards away from home.

Successful deer recovery unfortunately this one was still alive. The way the buck acted we believe he was gonna be expire by morning. When the hunter approached the buck it got up and took off fast with minimum blood we came to conclusion that he going be fine for another opportunity.

SkyView Thermal Drone Services is now scheduling appointments for December and January. Our Deer Herd Analysis offers a thorough, data-driven analysis of your property's deer population, facilitating informed decision-making for effective wildlife management. By leveraging thermal drone technology, we conduct a meticulous survey of your property, precisely identifying and locating each deer. Color-coded pins are used to differentiate between does and bucks, while also identifying other significant wildlife such as bears, coyotes, foxes, and turkeys. The collected data is then exported into Google My Maps and/or OnX, creating a tailored project featuring a satellite image of your property with all pinned wildlife. You will receive a link to access your project, providing reliable information to inform habitat quality improvement or optimize hunting strategies. For Scheduling and quotes reach out to us on Facebook messenger or text or call us at 434 603 2943.

After about an hour searching we found the targeted buck in some think pines wounded over quarter mile away, we don't believe the shot was fatal and he is gonna make it.

All Drone Pilots and Non-Pilots we need your help! Most of the drone industry is either DJI or Autel. Most Search and Rescue, Deer Recovery, Pet Recovery, Mapping, and Photography uses these brands. The link is provided below to help dispute this action and hopefully not to crash the Drone industry. Thank y'all for your time!

Vic Moss gives the Drone Industry an update on the Possible Drone Ban that is entering a critical time frame that requires us to be as proactive as possible.

Please reach out to your elected official in DC, Congressional leadership in both chambers, and leadership of both the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.

That leadership is actively working on a compromise of the National Defense Authorization Act that may include the Countering CCP Drones Act language. If that happens the FCC will no long be allowed to grant new licenses to any DJI or Autel product that requires FCC licenses.

Early Monday morning, a search was conducted for Giorgio the Chihuahua. Approximately an hour into the search, a small heat source was detected, and camera footage revealed a small black spot burrowed in the leaves. Despite repeated passes over the location, the object remained stationary and did not respond to the drone. Due to uncertainty regarding the object's identity, its location was shared with the owner for further investigation. Unfortunately, it was situated on adjacent property. Upon arrival at the property, Giorgio was successfully located and reunited with his owners.

We conducted one of our first recoveries on a buck found in the river, which thermal imaging failed to detect due to its complete submersion. After a lengthy search and not finding this exact deer in the area we expressed our thoughts that it might have expired in the water close to where it was last seen. Which shortly after Chris confirmed when he walked this area and saw his buck. Although this buck wasn't seen on thermals it still helped narrow done the area of where it could be. Thank you Chris Davis for having us out to search!

We have been busy since hunting season has started on deer recoveries. It's astounded hunters with this technology on finding their deer either dead or alive. Having that peace of mind knowing if they are gonna expire later or they are gonna be fine for another opportunity to harvest.

Big advantage of using the Drone is hunters who have shot their deer and cant find a blood trail to follow or it has rained and washed it all away. We have still located their deer with the thermals of the drone because the carcass still holds heat.

This has been an exciting year for us and the hunters. Hopefully more to come! We wanted to thank everyone for supporting our success at SkyView Thermal Drone Services on their recoveries!
