Offering deer tracking service with aid of a dog and/or Drone

10/11/2026

We are making to most of our limited contacts this year so far. Recovery number 10 for our team this year.

This was a youth hunters first deer. I got a referral from Shaun Brock to give this hunting party a call. The shot on the deer Was with a r***e for the annual youth hunt. The shot was captured on video and I could tell the bullet hit near the last rib of the deer. Normally I would have said let’s wait til morning and we will bring in the dog to be sure we didn’t track to soon and kick it up if still alive.

With the temperatures being so warm. I decided to take the drone up and see if we could locate the deer and see what kinda shape it was in. We were all happy that I found the deer fast and we could see that it had expired.

Congrats on your first deer and thanks for trusting us.

We serve Central WI and have a seasoned dog, a puppy, and a Drone. Get a hold of us if you need help.

Had the Drone out last night to help a hunter find his buck. The hunter had a great shot on the deer but he did not get a pass through shot. He had a very little blood and backed out after not being able to advance. We flew the drone and found the deer in under 2 minutes. Glad we could help find the deer.

Scout and I were out tracking again this evening. This deer was arrowed yesterday evening. I got the call this afternoon and the hunter said he had a gut covered arrow and that him and a friend could not locate any blood when looking around the hit site, just some gut matter was all. So they decided to back out. Unfortunately he had to work and I wasn’t able to get to him until after work. All in all the hunter got confirmation of what happened. Lung liver gut exit on this one.

Scout helped a hunter recover this freezer queen yesterday afternoon. When the hunter tracked this deer they bumped it out of a bed not to far past the hit site so they backed out. After waiting a few hours they came back and followed blood until they lost the trail. I brought Scout in and 250 yds in the deer was standing 5ft from Scout. We backed out now knowing more of the story and came back 5 hrs later to a dead deer that totaled 500 yds in the end.

Red is on the board! First legit recovery for him I would call it!! Got a call late this morning for deer that was arrowed around 8am. I took the track up around 10:30 or so….red tracked decent blood like a champ. I had smelled the hunters arrow and got a strong hint of gut smell. I was on high alert but as he described the shot I was thinking maybe a gut exit in the arrow. About 190 yds in Red started to kinda get confused slash circle around. He put his nose up in the air a couple times which would alert me that it’s a proximity alert that the deer could be close. I got a bad feeling that we should back out and maybe it was too much for him and we would bring Scout in later after dark. This puppy thing is new to me again…I decided to grab the drone shortly later and see what we could find. After about 2 min into flight going towards last blood we see the deer expired 10 yds from where we pulled red off. I then went back got Red to go back in and finish the job because he really did locate this deer. Liver gut and went about 200 yds. Great job to red at 4 months old!

Got a text this afternoon about a deer that was arrowed last night. The hunter tracked last night about 150 yds across a hay field , and decided it was best to wait till morning. He looked before work for a while and couldn’t locate anymore blood. Scout and I came into help 26 hrs after the shot and scout tracked 425 yds to the buck! Congrats to all involved.

I thought we were done tracking for the weekend until I received a call this evening. The hunter shot the deer around 6pm. He told me he thought he hit about middle of the deer but low. It was slightly quartered away. He found some blood initially but had a tough time with red colored leaves. Normally I would want to give this deer overnight but he wanted me to come tonight. So I figured we would take it slow and just see if we could get some more of the story. Scout worked this tracked nice and slow, I seen some spots of frothy blood. We came to any area I figured where the deer was laying….a scent pool. I got a feeling that we had jumped this deer and should have waited longer. I pursued on to see the sign, and the blood started to pick up again and that confirmed we had jumped it. About 200 yards later we were approaching a corn field and food plot. My plan was to back out if it had went in the corn. But to our surprise he was laying on the edge of the food plot! The deer was as fresh and limp as it gets so we got lucky tonight. Glad we could help out. 375 yds to deer.

Scout and I have tracked a lot of deer over the last 9 seasons….this one one ranks up there with the best of the best . A friend of mine Jesse calls me shortly after dark. Says I hit one tonight I think it was close to the shoulder. He described the situation the best he could to me…it didn’t sound promising but I was going either way. I said let’s wait at least 4 hrs. Scout starts the track and is going fast. Real fast pulling hard on the leash. We blow past the broken off arrow at 100+ yds and see one drop of blood shortly after. He’s on it. For the next 1200 yds he pulls hard and fast. It was only 4 hrs after the shot but I was thinking this is a live deer. Long story short….i tell the hunting party that this is a tell tale sign of a live deer and we prolly gonna call it off. Scout had did a huge loop and was headed back to the hit site. I said prolly not gonna happen but we will just roll with it since he’s going back to the vehicles. The hunting party falls behind then and I look up and see him stopped tail wagging. I see a white belly. I’m like no friggin way. And I see rack. I yell out loud Jesse!!! Jesse!!! We got him!!! I couldn’t believe it. Felt like the longest track with no evidence of drop of blood at all. There we stood over his 150” class buck!!! He hit it high in the shoulder and it penetrated down in the vital area into the boiler room. Can’t believe how far the deer went with 0 blood . Awesome!! Congrats bud!

This deer was hit last night. The hunter backed out and called late last night after finding grit and watery looking blood indicating something hit back to me. The hunter thought he had hit the front shoulder and the arrow angled back. When we located the deer it had been hit just in front of the rear leg. The deer was almost completely covered in leaves when we found. Either a bobcat or bear I would say covered it up last night. Glad we could help. Good Boy Scout.

Scout is on the board! Got the call last night. The hunter described the looks of the arrow and the reaction of the deer and I knew we had a good chance of recovery. Problem was…I suggested leaving it over night but I had to work in the morning. I told the hunter I would ask Kacey if he could take it. Turns out he knows Kaceys family so it happened to work out good.

It sounded like Scout did awesome besides one little hiccup. 790 total yards from the hit site to the dead deer, where he expired at the waters edge.

Thanks Kacey and congrats to the hunter!
