SB106

Revising laws related to the use of manned and unmanned aircraft while hunting

Complete·5/8/25

Montana SB106 revises laws on the use of manned and unmanned aircraft while hunting.

Montana SB106 amends existing laws to clarify and restrict the use of aircraft while hunting. It prohibits the use of aircraft to kill, take, or shoot at game animals, or to spot or locate game animals for hunting on the same day. It also bans using aircraft to concentrate, pursue, drive, rally, or stir up game animals, and landing aircraft on private property without permission. Violators face fines, imprisonment, and loss of hunting licenses. The bill also establishes a permitting program for certain aircraft use in hunting, subject to federal law compliance.
