Our Story
Built by Hunters. Driven by Results.
Dead-On Recovery was founded by Indiana hunters who got tired of losing animals. We combined a passion for the outdoors with professional drone technology to build a service that actually works.
Why We Exist
The Mission
Every deer recovered is a harvest honored. Every animal found is a family reunited. Every acre mapped is land better understood. That's what drives us — not just the technology, but the outcome it delivers for real people in the field.
We operate across all of Indiana, deploying fast and working hard until the job is done. We're hunters, landowners, and homeowners ourselves — we understand what's at stake when you call us.
We deploy fast because time matters. A fresh heat signature is a found animal.
Thermal imaging doesn't guess. We locate animals with accuracy that ground searches can't match.
We're honest about what we can and can't do. If we can't help, we'll tell you.
All of Indiana. We travel statewide to serve hunters, farmers, landowners and homeowners.
The Gear
Professional Equipment
We don't cut corners on gear. Our thermal and camera drones are the same technology used by law enforcement and search-and-rescue teams.
- Thermal Imaging DroneHigh-sensitivity thermal camera with sub-degree temperature resolution — detects body heat through dense brush and complete darkness.
- RTK Drone MappingHigh-resolution camera system for aerial mapping and 3D modeling, capturing up to 1 cm/pixel ground sampling distance.
- Ground Control SoftwareReal-time thermal feed with GPS overlay — we can guide you directly to the animal's location on your phone.
- FAA Part 107 CertifiedAll pilots are FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone operators. We fly legally, safely, and professionally.
