About Us

Promotion for deer recovery using dogs and drones.

Deer Dogs & Drones is the Mid-Atlantic's premiere blood tracking dog and thermal drone deer recovery service. We specialize in recovering wounded Whitetail Deer, Sika Deer and Black Bears. Our team uses advanced thermal drone technology and certified blood tracking dogs.

Darren Minor co-founded Deer Dogs and Drones with the intention of providing a first class big game recovery service to outdoorsmen who need assistance in locating wounded game animals. Darren and his staff will make every reasonable effort to track, locate, and recover the animal of your dreams so it will be with you forever.

We occasionally offer lost pet tracking services during the non-hunting season with our thermal drone.
