We are based in Antigo, Wisconsin and primarily serve the Northwoods region. Depending on the situation, we may be able to travel for larger jobs — contact us to discuss your location.

We offer deer recovery, pet and livestock rescue, aerial photography and videography, and coverage for weddings and special events. All services are performed by FAA Part 107 certified pilots using professional-grade equipment including thermal imaging cameras.

Pricing varies by job type and scope—emergency recovery missions often have a flat starting rate, while aerial photo/video projects depend on area size, flight time, and editing. We offer free, no-obligation quotes after a quick chat about your needs. Just reach out!

We prioritize urgent calls and can often, but not guaranteed, get the drone airborne within 1-2 hours, weather and location permitting. We are based right in Antigo, so response times are fast for northern Wisconsin areas. For emergencies, contact us immediately—we use thermal imaging to maximize success, day or night.

Our drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras (up to 4K video and detailed photos), thermal/infrared sensors for heat detection (ideal for locating animals or people), and GPS for precise mapping. Everything is FAA-compliant, and we select the right setup for your job—whether it's a quick pet rescue or detailed herd/farm analysis.

Yes—we hold a current FAA Part 107 commercial drone pilot certification. Packard Drone Services is fully insured for liability, and we strictly follow FAA rules, no-fly zones, and Wisconsin guidelines to ensure safe, legal flights every time.

Our thermal imaging cameras are effective at night and in low-visibility conditions. We assess weather conditions on a case-by-case basis and will always prioritize safety. Wind, heavy rain, or lightning may delay or cancel a flight.
