Heat Seekers Thermal Big Game Recovery is an Oklahoma-based service that helps hunters locate wounded big game when a blood trail goes cold. Operated by Advanced Aerial Services LLC, the business uses aerial thermal imaging to search for deer, elk, bear, and pronghorn on private property. Its cameras detect body heat through brush and timber, allowing large areas to be covered quickly, day or night, while reducing the risk of pushing an injured animal farther away.

Heat Seekers reports a locate rate greater than 92%, with typical thermal searches taking under 30 minutes. The recovery process begins with a phone call to discuss the shot, timing, and last known blood trail. After searching from the air, the team confirms a location with zoom and spotlight, then guides the hunter to the animal.

The company also provides practical guidance on preparing for a search, including marking key locations and obtaining landowner permission
