    Fantastic video brother. You definitely have inspired many with what you have built. I am very excited to get into thermal drone recoveries as my side gig all because of you and everyone at Drone Deer Recovery! I started Florida Game Recovery and hope to be able to help hunters and people all across Florida just like you! Thank you for creating this company and these videos!

    Thanks Mike for the video, been following your channel for a few. You are definitely inspiring when it comes to your business ups and downs. I fly drones as a recreational pilot, and will sometime in the future after retirement I might consider doing recovery. One year ago I sent an email to local Missouri game warden asking if I could use my drone for recovery. The response was negative, but noticed this year we are able to use a drone to recover game. Thanks again for this and all your videos and insight…loyal drone deer recovery followers.

    Just catching up on your vids Mike. Thanks for sharing your heart. You are leading people. Stepping out on Faith can be tough. Have been watching your videos for some time now. You inspired me to make my first drone purchase, not a thermal yet. Want to learn to fly first. A $1200 drone was a big step for my budget after being scammed on my first purchase on a “Black Friday deal”. You have taught me a lot already. Will learn first how to maneuver above different canopy’s, learn what to look for in the Timbers. Keep pushing forward. Everything is possible with God as our Co-Pilot.

    I have watched every episode and man you have inspired me! I'm in Wisconsin and now studying for my part 107 license then it will be to get your package drone. Me and my wife ( mostly wife) tracked deer with our bloodhound till he past 10yrs ago. This is so much better! Never be ashamed of having feelings, that is part of being a true man that can show them. God bless, hope to be ordering in the spring, besides the apparel I already purchased which is awsome.

    Would love to do deer recovery. Really intrested in agricultural. Retired from 33 plus years in Fish and Wildlife Service. Think I bring something to the table in that area. Keep it up really great video. James

    Never let people discourage you from seeking your desires to succeed! Too many people have the 9 to 5 job with bills to pay. That's what stops 98% of people from even trying to have a business. Never let the majority of people discourage you. You have 1 life to live. Live it to the fullest! Without failure, success will never be achieved. Keep up the good work, Mike!

    I have a challenge for ya! I'm 59, have no job, and no capital, and due to health issues, I've applied for SSDI. But...I'd rather work. How can I start a drone business? I'm in SE Missouri, so deer recovery certainly is a thing here. I was initially thinking about feral hog tracking on private farmland if I could find a partner that hunts. Of course, there are things like roof inspections, thermal and infrared imaging of all sorts, and even offering assistance to local law enforcement! I'm not asking for a handout, that's not how the world works, but I could use a hand-up!

    Good advice! I’ve been tossing the idea around for a while. For deer and pet recovery. The problem, I live in New York. Last I heard, they’re not talking about it at all as far as legalizing the use of drones for “recovery”. Have you heard anything in your circles about New York?
    On the pet side, it seems there might be enough interest to build some type of business. But if it could include deer recovery, that would make it that much better. If you might could give me some pointers on what to do, I would totally appreciate it. Obviously, as you said, you’re really busy. So if you can’t go into great detail, I understand!
    Keep em comin!
    P.S. if you want to give me another chance to win a drone kit like you did last year, that might get me going too!

    With deer recovery you are at the mercy of state laws and DJI drones have become attack dogs for political policy too. Rapid growth can be a good thing to have but also a problem that needs rapid attention. Congratulations on the the growth and we see you're growing as a business person too.
