Night or day. Deer, dogs, cats, livestock. Thermal imaging sees heat — not just light — so we find what your eyes can't in the dark, thick brush, or open fields.
150+ recoveries under our belt across the Gulf Coast.
An active deer or pet down? Call — it's fastest. Not urgent, or after hours? Dispatch the form and it hits Brayden's phone instantly.
Real recovery footage — thermal picks up the body heat your eyes can't, then we guide you straight to it.
Same drone, same thermal camera, two very different jobs. Each one has its own page with pricing, timing, and what to do before we get there.
Shot or wounded deer, blood trail gone cold. We fly your track after dark and cover in twenty minutes what a grid search takes all night to walk.
A missing dog or cat in a tree line, a ditch, a hay field, or a back lot. Thermal sees body heat where a flashlight and a voice won't reach.
A buck most hunters would've walked away from — found with the thermal drone.
Definitely recommend Closer to Heaven, awesome guy, professional and is dedicated to each and every call he gets. He goes out of his way and even helped me drag my buck out when it was 17 degrees at 12am. Couldn’t ask for better representation of the hunting and drone service community. A++
My very old dog was missing and a Facebook post landed in the right hands and he dropped everything at 11:00 at night and showed up at our house. Not only was he incredibly generous, kind and helpful but he found our Molly and didn’t once give up on it.
A hunter who searched an hour in the dark before we found his deer in two minutes. A 15 lb dog lost at 9:30am and home by 6:30pm. And three searches that did not end the way anybody wanted — we published those too.
