Discuss a recovery search

Garmon’s Drone Service LLC reviews deer recovery search requests near Dover, New Philadelphia, and the surrounding Tuscarawas County area. We discuss the last known location, relevant sightings, terrain, property access, and conditions before confirming whether a search can be scheduled.

Thermal scanning can reveal possible heat signatures when the camera has a view. Visible light zoom can help check possible sightings. Neither guarantees that a deer will be found, identified, or recovered.

Current deer search pricing

Deer Recovery Search: $300. Includes up to two hours of on-site searching. No additional fee if the deer is located.

The fee covers the search and remains payable if the animal is not located. Recovery is not guaranteed.

Included time covers on-site searching, including battery changes, rather than continuous flight.

Searches may conclude earlier when the animal is located.

Additional time is $50 per additional 30 minutes and requires customer approval.

Return visits are quoted separately before booking.

Travel and coverage

We travel beyond 30 miles. The first 30 driving miles from our Dover, Ohio base are included in the search price. If you’re farther away, give us a call to discuss availability and travel costs. Each mile beyond the included 30 costs $2, calculated using the driving distance to your location. This single charge covers the trip there and back.

If you’re 45 driving miles away, the total travel charge is $30.

We also serve locations outside this circle. The circle shows distance in a straight line. Travel charges are based on driving distance. Contact us to confirm coverage for your location.

Recovery is different from drone assisted hunting

Ohio Administrative Code 1501:31-15-02(B)(4), effective July 6, 2026, allows aerial drones to aid deer recovery after the taking has occurred, provided no one involved in the recovery is employing a hunting device at the time.

If the deer is found alive, the rule requires drone use to stop before hunting resumes; in that limited case, the operator may provide its last drone located position. Read the current official rule and clarify your situation with the responsible authorities where needed. Arrange appropriate property access before proceeding.

Practical limits and next steps

Thick vegetation, solid obstacles, weather, and flight conditions can limit the search or prevent it. A heat signature may remain unconfirmed, and a search may produce no sighting. We explain what was actually observed and discuss the result without guaranteeing recovery.
