His Story

Since 2023, Kodra’s Drone Service LLC has been on a mission to assist hunters and law enforcement professionals in locating their targets with precision and reliability. Founded by Adam Kodra, a lifelong hunter and tracker, the company leverages cutting-edge drone technology to enhance outdoor operations. Adam's journey began with a deep love for the outdoors, and his experiences as an Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician further honed his skills in situational awareness and advanced robotics. This unique background positioned him perfectly to merge practical fieldwork with innovative aerial solutions.

After completing his FAA Part 107 UAS license in 2023, Adam launched Kodra’s Drone Service and quickly made a name for himself, boasting a remarkable 95% find rate in his first year. Upgrading to the advanced Autel EVO MAX 4N drone equipped with thermal imaging and night vision has considerably improved his ability to locate game and assist law enforcement in tough situations. By spring 2024, he expanded his offerings to include aerial mapping for golf courses, campgrounds, and wildlife management. A highlight of his recent work was aiding in locating a fugitive who had fled the area after removing an ankle monitor.

Today, Adam continues to evolve Kodra’s Drone Service with a strong commitment to innovation, community service, and responsible technology use. He aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of outdoor operations while building strong partnerships with hunters and law enforcement. With his experience and dedication, the future is bright for Kodra’s Drone Service LLC, where a passion for the outdoors meets modern technology and integrity..

About Our Drone

At Kodra’s Drone Service, we use the Autel EVO Max 4N, one of the most advanced drones in the world, for spotting and tracking game. This professional-grade system combines thermal imaging, starlight-level night vision, and a precision laser rangefinder to locate animals in total darkness, heavy cover, or low-visibility conditions.

The Max 4N’s FusionLight sensor system allows us to detect and identify wildlife from long distances while keeping disturbance to a minimum. Its super-starlight camera captures clear, detailed images in extremely low light—down to 0.0001 lux—while the high-resolution thermal camera highlights body heat signatures even when animals are partially concealed.

With a flight range of up to 15 kilometers and 42 minutes of air time per battery, this drone allows for wide-area searches, making it perfect for recovering wounded game or locating animals that are difficult to track on foot. Advanced AI tracking, 360° obstacle avoidance, and GPS-denied flight capabilities ensure safe and stable operation in rugged terrain, dense woods, or open fields.

Whether you’re searching for downed game, scouting at night, or simply monitoring wildlife on your property, the Autel EVO Max 4N delivers unmatched precision, reliability, and ethical observation from above.
