Summary

The bill would permit hunters who hold a federal drone operator license to fly drones to locate wounded or recently killed deer, as long as they have the proper hunting license and have shot the animal during open season. They must obtain permission from the landowner before launching or landing a drone on that property, and the drone may not be used to harass wildlife. The measure failed, dying in committee.
