Precision Drone Services - Deer Recovery and Lost Pet Search and Rescue

12/02/2025

Today we were called out for a search where we kind of knew it might end up being what we call a ‘negative search.’ 🐾

A negative search isn’t a bad thing at all. It’s a way we help families realize that their missing pet is not in a certain area, especially when everyone’s been fixated on that spot. We confirm the dog isn’t there so that the family can let go of that worry and refocus their energy on other places where their dog might actually be.

In other words, we help them mentally move past one section of the woods and start looking where it really counts. That way, they can finally get closer to the answers they need to bring their furry friend home. 🧡

It saddens me to report that after searching for Winnie we found her while flying the drone and that she has crossed the rainbow bridge. We are grateful that we were able to provide closure to the family tonight. May God give them whatever they need during this difficult time. 🌈 🐶

What a coincidence! This one hits a little too close to home.  I remember seeing a post about some lost horses out in Carroll County and I believe I may have commented offering some assistance on finding their missing horses. Well one of my very best friends this morning found one of them and unfortunately it ran in front of his truck, totaling it and unfortunately the horse is now deceased.

It's terribly sad that someone lost a loved one such as one of these horses and a good friend of mine no longer has his truck. Please pray for both people. Fortunately my friend is uninjured.

Situations like this underscores the value of services like ours.  when you have large animals that have gotten loose it's imperative to act quickly and use all available resources and drones have become one of the major tools aside from public awareness and helping locate and rescue these missing animals.

You know the end results now watch the whole crazy saga with Cupcake

Cupcake’s family reached out to me after Nikki from Dogs Finding Dogs recommended my help, and I headed out right away. As soon as I arrived, I located Cupcake in the woods near her new home which sits right beside I-95.

At first when we found her she was doing circles in the woods eating searching for food. Then she caught wind of food coming from the highway and made a B-line to RT 95. She wandered along the shoulder at times, picking at scraps and roadkill, but she never once showed interest in running into traffic. She kept her distance from cars and made smart choices. Hunger was the only thing guiding her.

Several good Samaritans stopped to help but their presence made things harder because Cupcake would spook and change direction. We also noticed a fence blocking her from returning to the farmland behind her. That gave us a terrain advantage and a natural funnel we could use for a safe recovery plan.

From the air we documented her behavior, her patterns, and the safest ways to approach her without pressure. Working with Nikki and later Leah, we initially tried a controlled approach with the owner to draw her in. Unfortunately this was disrupted by people stopping, state police activity, and even a state trooper deciding it was a great moment to take a leak ten feet from the dog. After that Cupcake was not going to come within 50 to 100 feet of anyone, even her family.

At that point we called Leah to bring in a trap and set it along the fence line. Once everything was in place, we cleared the entire area so Cupcake had a safe and quiet path either back into the farmland or into the trap.

That night she walked right in. The door closed behind her and she was finally safe. A perfect ending for a dog who had been missing along one of the busiest highways in the state and possibly the county.

Cupcake is home because teamwork works. Proper techniques work. Patience works. And using the right tools at the right time works. This is what happens when you use actual experience instead of panic, guesses, or misinformation. Results speak louder than rumors every single time. Funny how the real footage always clears up the stories people like to invent. 🚁✔️

Here is the full rescue video so you can see exactly how we handled everything from start to finish.

Congratulations Ben on this beautiful eight point with these monster brow tines. Found him in about 30 seconds. The deer only went 127 yards from where he was shot.  if you need help tracking your deer give us a call at 443-982-6782. Still plenty of hunting to do this season. Later in the season means the buck have changed their patterns from more chaotic pattern of behavior to slower, more focused movements looking for food. Hump the pathways to the food as they try to recoup their energy from rutting and you will still find your bucks.

Late nights, early mornings, and long searches are part of the job, and honestly I wouldn’t trade it. I’m grateful for the families who trust me when their pets go missing and for the amazing trappers and rescuers I get to work alongside.

This past week or so brought several cases for hunters who needed tracking help with their deer and lost pets including Cupcake, who we located and successfully trapped thanks to the combined efforts of Nikki, Leah, and myself. Seeing her walk into that trap and knowing we helped save the family’s Thanksgiving was the kind of win that makes the long hours worth it.

On top of that, I had a 1am to 5am search for PJ and Pippett, flying miles of terrain over 600 acres, coordinating sightings, and teaming up with great folks like Ashton from Bring Ace Home. We later learned the dogs had already traveled far outside the initial search radius during the night, but with everyone communicating and sharing information, they were safely rescued soon after.

At the end of the day, results come from teamwork, transparency, and staying focused on the pets, not the politics. Another happy ending. On to the next one.

Just as Cupcake was walking into the trap Leah from Bring Em Home Animal Rescue & Trapping Inc set for us, I was on my way out to search for PJ and Pippett. Their family asked if I could come fly, and even though my arrival time wasn’t until 1am, I didn’t want them spending Thanksgiving without answers.

I flew for hours straight (until 5am), covering every safe area we had mapped out. No signs at the time, which we later learned was because PJ and Pippett had already traveled over 2.5 miles north during the night.

Between myself and Ashton at Bring Ace Home - A Lesson In Faith, we guided the family on next steps, created a mapped-out tracking plan for sightings, and did everything we could to help them stay calm and focused.

The following day, thanks to a new confirmed sighting, I headed back out… and before I even got there, the pups were safely rescued. Absolutely the outcome we all hope for.

Teamwork, good information, and staying level-headed always make the difference. Super happy these two made it home.

Update #2: She's in the trap!!! We got her

Update on Cupcake; the lost one-year-old golden retriever in Havre de Grace. After a long day from about 9:30 until about 4:30 we tracked her trying our best to keep her off of the highway. When I started searching for her we immediately found her heading towards 95 and we watched her on and off for about six hours Watching her come onto the shoulder and then back into the woods over and over again. We realize that she was smart enough to not run out into the traffic however state troopers and " good Samaritans" kept ruining the progress we were making. At one point under my coaching and direction, cupcake was about 5 feet away from the owner's daughter when, against our advice and pleading, the same state troopers we told to stay away drove right up to the vehicle and scared her off. From that point we never got close again. She would only come within 100 feet of the owner's daughter. Thinking what to do I called Leah Biddinger with Bring Em Home Animal Rescue & Trapping Inc and she immediately dropped everything she was doing and brought out a trap. We have it properly baited and our monitoring the camera. I checked on her moments ago around 10:30 PM tonight and she is, as you can see in the video, mere feet from the trap. It is imperative that everybody stay out of the area if you happen to know where this location is and let nature take its course. Special thanks to Nikki from Dogs Finding Dogs for connecting me with the family once they determine that this situation was a job for a drone. Without their quick thinking and professionalism I would not have been able to connect with them as quickly as I did and fine cupcake as quickly as I had in order to assess the situation to get us to the point where we are now with the trap.

Grateful to all involved so far.

Update: Rocky showed up today at home this morning safe and sound. Although we will never know for sure it is very possible that the owner's scent, from walking around on the track with Terry and her dog Zero, helped leave a scent trail leading him home. Either way Rocky is now home safe.

11.21.25 4:00pm update: Zero tracked all the way to the end of West Ln off of East Wheel Rd (see comment below with screenshots). At that point we Terry had to stop as a) it was getting late and tracking dogs aren't robots with unlimited energy but also b) the track seems to head into the woods potentially (yes i flew in the immediate area behind the woods.)

11.21.25 3pm update: Zero is still tracking and has pulled us outside of the area I flew this week. Currently we are in the Northridge/Harold Heights area near bynum run. Please keep on the lookout but do not chase. Report exact location sightings to me or the lost pet parent.

Currently waiting on Standy at the owners home while Terry with Dogs finding dogs is out tracking for Rocky with her dog Zero right now.
