Your pilot
Evan Seidling owns and runs WI Deer Recovery. He’s an FAA-certified commercial drone pilot and grew up hunting west-central Wisconsin.
A downed deer stays warm for hours.
The ground, leaves and brush around it cool off much faster. From 400 feet, the thermal camera shows that difference clearly, day or night, which is why most deer are found in minutes.
- DJI Matrice 30T
- A commercial thermal drone that flies day or night in most weather.
- Up to 400 feet
- High enough to cover ground fast, with zoom to confirm it’s your deer.
- Spotlight on board
- For a closer look at night once the heat is spotted.
- Power for the whole search
- A generator on site charges batteries faster than they’re used.

Lost blood in a cedar swamp right at last light and felt sick about it. Evan had the buck on his screen within a few minutes. Can’t thank him enough.

Three of us grid searched with flashlights for hours. The drone found her in about five minutes. Next time I’m calling first.

I knew exactly when he’d pull in, and he did. Watching my deer light up on that monitor is something I won’t forget.

We didn’t recover mine. The shot was too far back and it crossed onto land we couldn’t get permission for. Evan was straight with me the whole time, and I’d call him again.
