After 2 days of searching, a local farmer still couldn't find a missing calf.๐ง
In an area loaded with coyotes, time wasn't on its side.
45 seconds later this handsome little fella was located safe and sound. ๐
Don't give up, sometimes just another perspective is all you need!!

These animals are incredibly resilient. Never underestimate their will to survive. After enduring extreme temperatures for 30 hours, a beautiful puppy named Ivy was reunited with her family. Tears of joy were shed by both parties. If you have a four-legged family member that has wandered off this winter, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance. ๐พ๐๐ถ๐

Several recoveries from the previous days; although several outstanding shots were taken, adverse weather conditions made tracking difficult, but the drone proved to be highly effective. Some hunters were able to obtain closure on less desirable shots that were deemed non-fatal. The drone allows for rapid, effortless, and non-invasive recoveries with a very high success rate in locating.
If you are concerned about a lost trophy, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will gladly locate it for you.

The woods have slowed down as bucks are locked up tight with does. Here are a few recent recoveries; congratulations to the successful hunters. Other hunters were given peace of mind regarding the location of their hit and the condition of their deer.
This time of year can be challenging. Stick with it, as the season will soon come to a close. You have a little time before the orange army hits the woods to punch your tag. Reach out to me if you have a questionable hit and need assistance.

Congratulations to Nancy Constantine on a great deer. Following a brief aerial search, we located her buck and, after careful consideration, determined she had a lethal shot, merely requiring additional time. A subsequent flyover the next day revealed an expired trophy ready for retrieval. When uncertain, it is advisable to exercise caution and seek guidance to avoid losing one's trophy. Happy hunting everyone! ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ

Rutication has commenced and arrows are flying. Coffee, sunflower seeds, and kwik trip snacks are fueling me as I help fellow hunters in recovering their trophies. Exceptional bucks are hitting the ground and some non-lethal hits have been confirmed, providing hunters with peace of mind knowing they did everything possible to recover their buck.
Time on stand is your friend right now as the lockdown is here, grind it out that buck could pop up any second! Reach out if you need help or reccomendations, don't let that trophy get away! Good luck everyone

Here are a few recoveries from the weekend. Given the high volume of calls, the deer were actively moving. Congratulations to the hunters whose deer we recovered that had expired. Other hunters unfortunately were presented with non-lethal shots but were reassured knowing with confidence what happened to the deer.
Things happen rapidly in the woods this time of year and can yield questionable shots; back out and call us for non-invasive assistance with high recovery odds. ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฝ
