Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Thermal cameras detect any warm-blooded animal. Larger game like elk and moose are actually easier to spot due to their greater heat signature.
Pricing typically ranges from $150-500 depending on location, terrain difficulty, and search area size. Remote wilderness areas may cost more.
Modern drones handle mountain terrain well, though pilots need experience with altitude, wind, and terrain. Many western pilots specialize in backcountry recovery.
Bears often bed down in thick cover after being hit. Thermal is especially valuable here—it sees heat signatures through vegetation that would hide a visual search.
