The Matrice 4TD NightTracker is the complete deer recovery drone bundle built for operators running real volume — multiple calls per week, large acreage, and weather that doesn't cooperate. It's an IP55 rain-rated thermal drone with a fixed-arm airframe, 640x512 night vision thermal camera, integrated spotlight, and five-sensor gimbal. It deploys faster, flies in the rain, and finds deer that lighter platforms can't.

Standard delivery is 5 to 7 business days.

All-Weather Deer Recovery Advantage

Most thermal recovery drones quit when it rains. The NightTracker doesn't. IP55 means rain, dust, and mud don't end the session. When you're running a deer recovery business, the calls don't stop because it's drizzling — a wounded deer doesn't wait for clear skies. An all-weather buck-finder keeps you in service while other operators are sitting in the truck. If you operate in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, or Midwest in late season, this is the difference between a full season of calls and a season of cancellations.
