Authorizing use of unmanned aerial vehicles to track certain mortally wounded wild animals

This bill allows hunters in West Virginia to use drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) or leashed dogs to track deer, elk, turkey, wild boar, or bear that were mortally wounded but not yet killed during a hunt. It requires drone operators to hold a valid hunting license, mandates commercial drone tracking services to be licensed as outfitters/guides, and requires non-property-based drone operators to comply with FAA regulations. The state must publish an annual list of licensed outfitters/guides offering dog or drone tracking services by September 1 each year. The law applies directly to hunters, commercial service providers, and wildlife officials managing tracking activities.
