Every Recovery. Every Mission. Every Time.
Deer recovery, pet search, livestock surveys, herd analysis, and public safety support — powered by specialized drone technology and operated by veterans and first responders who know what's at stake.
Deer Drone Recovery
You made the shot. Now find your deer fast, before spoilage or scavengers cost you the harvest. Full Draw Drone Recovery deploys thermal drone technology to locate downed deer quickly and precisely — cutting through dense brush, darkness, and difficult terrain that would take a ground search hours to cover.
- Thermal imaging detects heat signatures invisible to the naked eye — effective day or night, in heavy cover, and in low-visibility conditions.
- We deploy the DJI Matrice 4TD and other specialized platforms for wide-area coverage and pinpoint localization.
- Recovery coordinates are shared in real time so you can move directly to your animal.
- We operate quickly and discreetly to minimize disturbance to surrounding game.
Whether you're hunting thick timber, swamp edge, or agricultural fields, our team understands the urgency of a successful recovery. We're hunters too — we know what that deer means.
Lost Pet Recovery
Every minute matters when your pet is missing. Drones can search in minutes what would take ground teams hours — covering neighborhoods, fields, wooded areas, and water's edge faster than any foot search. Full Draw Drone Recovery gives you a rapid, systematic aerial search when your animal needs to be found.
- High-resolution and thermal imaging locate animals hidden in brush, under porches, or sheltering in low-visibility cover.
- Wide-area coverage means fewer missed zones and faster confirmation of search sectors.
- Drone operations are calm and low-disturbance — we keep flight patterns steady to avoid startling a frightened animal.
- Our team coordinates with you in real time so you can respond the moment your pet is spotted.
Dogs, cats, livestock — if it's lost, we're searching. Contact us as early as possible after your pet goes missing to maximize the search window.
Livestock Recovery
Cattle, horses, hogs, or goats — when animals stray or escape, aerial search is the fastest way to locate them across large pastures, timber land, or neighboring properties. Our drones cover ground quickly and quietly, reducing stress on your livestock during the search.
- Thermal and high-resolution imaging locates animals day or night, in brush or open terrain.
- Real-time GPS coordinates allow you and your hands to respond immediately.
- Low-altitude, calm flight patterns are designed to minimize herd disruption.
Aerial Herd Analysis
Beyond recovery, our drones give farmers a bird's-eye view of herd health, distribution, and condition. Aerial surveys deliver fast, comprehensive counts and behavioral observation without the time cost of a full ground check.
- Accurate headcounts and distribution mapping across large acreage in a single flight.
- Visual health assessment — identify animals that are separated, injured, or showing signs of illness.
- Regular scheduled surveys help ranchers stay ahead of herd management decisions.
Public Safety & Search and Rescue Support
Full Draw Drone Recovery is veteran and first responder owned and operated. Our team understands mission-critical operations, chain of command, and the urgency of a live search. We are available to support public safety agencies, sheriffs' offices, fire departments, and emergency management teams with aerial drone assets when it matters most.
- Thermal and optical payload operations for missing-persons searches, day or night.
- Experienced operators who understand scene safety, communication protocols, and incident command integration.
- Flexible support model — we're happy to assist, coordinate, or embed with your existing response team.
Our background isn't a marketing line — it's operational. As veterans and first responders, we've worked the missions. We know how to show up, follow the plan, and execute when lives are on the line.

Common Questions
Here are answers to the questions hunters, pet owners, ranchers, and agencies ask us most often. Don't see yours? Reach out directly.
What area do you cover?

How quickly can you respond after a shot?
For deer recovery, the faster you contact us the better. We'll coordinate deployment as quickly as possible — often within hours or same-day depending on location, situation and availability.
Do you operate at night and in thermal mode?
Yes. The DJI Matrice 4TD carries a thermal infrared payload that detects heat signatures effectively at night, in heavy cover, and in low-light conditions. Night thermal operations are one of our core capabilities for deer recovery and search and rescue.How much does it cost?
Pricing varies by service type, location, and scope. Our standard deer recovery costs $250. Other recoveries/searches please reach out for pricing. Public safety there is no fees. For more info please contact us with the details of your situation and we'll provide a straightforward quote. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprise fees.
Do I need to be present during the search?
For deer and pet recovery, we encourage the owner to be nearby or reachable by phone so we can share coordinates in real time and you can move immediately when your animal is located. For agency and livestock support, coordination protocols are established on a case-by-case basis.
