# HB 1073 Summary This bill allows hunters to use drones to locate and spot predators and varmints before hunting them, but still requires the actual shooting to be done from the ground without drone assistance. The change updates South Dakota's hunting rules to permit this scouting technology while maintaining the tradition of fair-chase hunting.
