94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
New regulations from Kentucky Fish and Wildlife regarding the use of drones are now in effect.
A new administrative regulation now in effect makes it “unlawful to use aircraft or unmanned aircraft in the take of fish or wildlife.”
According to a release from KFW, the new regulation provides guidance for hunters and landowners while also providing a framework for game wardens when investigating potential violations.
Under the regulations now in effect, aircraft or unmanned aircraft may not be used to pursue, shoot, hunt, wound, catch, kill, trap, snare, or capture wildlife or to lure, attract, or entice for these purposes. Devices also may not be used to harass wildlife.
The new regulations allow for the use of aircraft or unmanned aircraft by KFW employees and contractors when addressing human safety, law enforcement, research, management, or other department needs. Landowners may use the devices for lawful wildlife damage control activities, and commercial fishers may use them for locating and removing invasive carp.
Visit fw.ky.gov to see the full text of the regulation, and contact the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Information Center at 1-800-858-1549 or info.center@ky.gov for more information.
