Packard Drone Services was founded with a simple mission: to use cutting-edge drone technology to help our community. Based in Antigo, Wisconsin, we understand the unique challenges of our area’s terrain and seasons. Whether you’re a hunter who needs help recovering game, a family searching for a lost pet, or a business needing professional aerial content, we’re here to help.
Our team is led by George Packard, who saw the potential for drones to make a real difference in people’s lives. We’ve invested in professional-grade equipment including thermal imaging cameras that can detect heat signatures.”
When our dog Bentley went missing, we tried everything — flyers, traps, Facebook posts, ground search teams. For 8 days, nothing. He was alone, scared, and hurt. We were very lucky to find him but when we did we realised he was badly injured. What followed were months of pain and over $10,000 in vet bills.
Every day he was out there, the danger grew. That's exactly why we built this service.
