Recreational Drone Flying

Recreate Responsibly Around Wildlife

• Do not operate your UAS in a manner that harasses wildlife or other area users.
• Drones may not be used to pursue, take, attempt to take, drive, or molest wildlife.
• Do not fly over or near wildlife as this can create stress that may cause significant harm and even death.
• Drones may be used to recover wounded black bear, deer, elk and turkey with prior authorization from a conservation agent.

Fly Safely and Stay in Control

• Keep your UAS within your visual line of sight at all times.
• Take lessons and learn to operate your UAS safely.
• Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned aircraft operations.
• Keep your drone away from populated and noise-sensitive areas, such as campgrounds and trailheads.
• Adhere to FAA rules for recreational flyers.
