Virginia Hunters

Per Virginia Code 4VAC15-20-240 it shall be unlawful for any person to hunt or assist another to hunt on the same calendar day on a property after having used a drone or unmanned aircraft to locate or surveil any wild animal during any open season.

This means if I launch the drone all hunting has to cease until the next calendar day. If I find your deer wounded and has not expired, I will return within 24 hrs to check the status of the deer for a fee. Hunting would also have to cease for the day of the return trip also.

I am hunting in Virginia and acknowledge the above: once the drone is launched, all hunting must cease for the rest of that calendar day, and on the day of any return trip. *

Acknowledgements

I understand the drone's limitations * The thermal drone works best at night and in cooler temperatures. Heavy canopy, leaf cover, and weather can limit detection. Recovery is not guaranteed.

I will comply with state game laws * I will follow Virginia DWR / West Virginia DNR regulations. Sky Sniff locates deer only and does not take or dispatch game.

I have read and agree to the Sky Sniff Animal Recovery LLC deer recovery fees and payment terms above, including the return trip fee if a return check is needed *
