RWR is owner operated. When you call, you are talking to Ryan Rounds, the same person who shows up with the truck, the M4T, and a real plan to find your deer or map your ground.
Based in Sedalia with deep roots in Central Missouri whitetail culture, Rounds Wildlife Resources was built to fill a gap that hunters and landowners around the Lake of the Ozarks have been talking about for years. A fast, professional, local aerial operation that actually answers the phone after dark and delivers reports you can use.
Every job is logged. Every recovery is documented with a GPS pin. Every map is delivered as a PDF along with KML and OnX export so you can carry it into the field. Same straight talking service whether you are a first time hunter or running a guided operation with paying clients.
The DJI Matrice 4 Thermal is the same drone platform used by professional search and rescue, public safety, and surveying operations. Built for finding what others cannot find. Flown by an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot, fully insured, and dialed in for Missouri terrain.
Wide angle, telephoto, and thermal all on one airframe. Real-time radiometric temperature data over canopy and brush. Built for the work, not the hobby.
There is no franchise behind this number. No middleman. No corporate dispatcher routing your buck to whoever happens to be free. The same hands that fly the drone, take the photos, draft the map, and bring your buck out of the timber are the hands that answer the phone when you call.
Real ground we have flown. Real maps and models delivered to real landowners. This is what arrives in your inbox when the work is done.
"Hit him at last light, lost the blood in eighty yards. Ryan was on site in under an hour and we had him on the truck by 9:30. Worth every dollar."
"The habitat strategy map changed how I hunt this farm. Saw two travel corridors from the air I had walked past for ten years. Money well spent."
"Found a calf in the timber that we had been looking for two days. Saved me a real loss. I will be calling him every spring."
Text or call. 24/7 during hunting season. After hours dispatch through 11 PM.
