Missouri DroneDeer Recovery Network
Pilots

Join the network

A free listing on the map and in the directory, seen by hunters searching for help the night they need it. A network admin reviews every application before it goes live.

Part 107 is required to be listed.

What you need

A current FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, a drone with a thermal camera, and a phone number you answer during deer season. Insurance is strongly recommended; hunters will ask.

What you agree to

Recovery only. You fly to locate animals that are already down. You do not scout, spot, or drive live game for a hunt, and you follow Missouri Department of Conservation rules as they stand each season.

Already in the Facebook group?

Same thing applies, this form is just faster for the admins. You can also post in the group and an admin will add you from there. The network’s public Facebook page is where recoveries get posted.
