revise provisions regarding the locating and spotting of predators or varmints from a drone.

# 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.

revise provisions regarding group pheasant hunts for disabled veterans.

HB1201 modifies South Dakota's rules for organizing group pheasant hunts specifically for disabled veterans, adjusting how these hunts can be conducted or who can participate. The bill changes existing provisions that govern these special hunting events to better serve this veteran population. (Note: Without access to the specific text of HB1201, I cannot detail the exact changes—such as whether it expands access, modifies licensing requirements, or adjusts hunting seasons—but the bill revises the current framework for disabled veteran pheasant hunts.)
