authorize the use of a drone for the location and recovery of mortally wounded deer and elk and to provide a penalty therefor.

Summary

The bill lets a hunter hire a drone pilot to find and recover a deer or elk that has been mortally wounded and cannot be located by normal tracking methods. It amends existing wildlife law to exempt this specific drone use and gives the Game, Fish and Parks Commission authority to set operating rules. Violating those rules would be a Class 1 misdemeanor.
