Summary
The bill lets a hunter who believes an animal is mortally wounded use a leashed dog, a UAV (drone), or both to find it. The hunter must have a valid hunting license, and any dog handler or drone operator providing the service for profit must be licensed as an outfitter or guide. It also sets rules for who may dispatch the animal and how the kill counts toward the hunter’s bag limit.
