Amends the Wildlife Code. Defines the term "drone". Prohibits the use of a manned or unmanned vehicle to take, pursue, or intentionally harass or disturb wild birds or mammals. Makes it unlawful to hunt on property where wildlife were spotted using manned or unmanned aircraft, including drones, unless 24 hours have passed since the aircraft has landed. Provides that the use of a drone as a hunting device constitutes a public nuisance, making the drone subject to confiscation.
