My name is Wyatt Barber, and I’m the owner and operator of Trophy Recovery in Wisconsin. I’ve spent the past five years using thermal drones to help hunters locate their deer, handling roughly 250–300 recovery calls each year.

I started without a roadmap and learned most of what I know through real experience in the field. I created this page to share the equipment I use, how I built the business, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way with people who are interested in getting started in drone deer recovery.
