Wildlife Recovery Support
Ethical, authorized aerial support for post-harvest wildlife recovery, tracking, and conservation coordination.
Sentinel SkyWorks LLC provides professional Wildlife Recovery Support Services designed to assist landowners, conservation partners, and licensed hunters in locating downed or legally harvested game animals through authorized and ethical means. Our goal is to promote humane recovery, land stewardship, and responsible technology use while maintaining strict compliance with federal and state law.
Our team uses FAA Part 107 Certified UAV systems equipped with high-resolution thermal and optical sensors capable of detecting heat signatures and body movement in low-light or difficult terrain. These tools can provide valuable situational awareness for authorized recovery operations, wildlife conservation efforts, and research initiatives conducted in cooperation with approved agencies or property owners. All missions are pre-planned, insured, and executed within FAA regulations and local ordinances to ensure safety, privacy, and regulatory compliance.
We understand that the use of drones for wildlife recovery remains a developing area of law in Pennsylvania. Under current interpretation by the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) and per 58 Pa. Code § 135.41, the use of drones or other electronic devices to locate, pursue, or recover game animals on State Game Lands or in active hunting contexts is generally prohibited unless explicitly authorized by the PGC.
Disclaimer:
Sentinel SkyWorks LLC does not perform or promote any activity that violates the Pennsylvania Game and Wildlife Code. All wildlife-related operations are conducted only when authorized by the appropriate agency, landowner, or governing body, and always within the scope of federal and state UAS laws. We closely monitor proposed Senate Bill 303, which, if enacted, would permit limited drone-assisted recovery of legally harvested game under specific restrictions; however, until such legislation becomes law, Sentinel SkyWorks operates under the existing legal framework and does not conduct unapproved recovery flights.
Our commitment is to remain at the forefront of legal and ethical drone operations—ensuring that every mission aligns with Pennsylvania’s conservation principles, FAA standards, and our own core values of professionalism, safety, and integrity.
