Request on blood‑trailing dogs and thermal drones tabled until next meeting
Summary
A proposal to ask the Department of Wildlife to consider allowing blood‑trailing dogs and thermal‑imaging drones for recovering wounded or dead animals was tabled because a member expected to present supporting data was absent.
The board considered a request asking the Department of Wildlife to evaluate options for allowing blood‑trailing dogs and thermal‑imaging drones to recover wounded or dead wildlife but agreed to table the item until the next meeting.
Unidentified Speaker 3 moved to table the proposal because 'Member Sibley is not present' and because Jason was expected to provide supporting data; Unidentified Speaker 4 acknowledged the support materials included in prior packets were incomplete. The board did not take a formal vote beyond agreeing to table the item and will revisit it when the member and supporting data are available.
The transcript indicates members expect a staff or member presentation with supporting data at a future meeting; no technical details or policy language about drone use, dog training standards, or legal constraints were discussed in the record.
