Drones as Christmas gifts come with responsibility

PHOENIX — The Arizona Game and Fish Department wants to remind sportsmen who received a drone for Christmas that flying the wildly popular devices must comply with state and federal wildlife laws and regulations.

The Federal Aviation Administration earlier this year predicted more than 1 million drones would be bought as holiday gifts. Like Santa’s sleigh, drones are considered “aircraft.” That means the remote-controlled gadgets equipped with cameras cannot lawfully be used for pursuing, disturbing, harassing, or taking wildlife. In addition, a drone shall not be used to locate wildlife beginning 48 hours before the opening of a big game hunting season.
