Drone Rules for August A. Busch. Memorial Conservation Area
Drone flights are prohibited unless written approval is granted. The Missouri Department of conservation gives permission via the special use permit process.
Rules are given in the special use permit if granted. Typically they are: Recreate Responsibly Around Wildlife Do not operate your UAS in a manner that harasses wildlife or other area users. Drones may not be used to pursue, take, attempt to take, drive, or molest wildlife. Do not fly over or near wildlife as this can create stress that may cause significant harm and even death. Drones may be used to recover wounded black bear, deer, elk and turkey with prior authorization from a conservation agent. Fly Safely and Stay in Control Keep your UAS within your visual line of sight at all times. Take lessons and learn to operate your UAS safely. Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned aircraft operations. Keep your drone away from populated and noise-sensitive areas, such as campgrounds and trailheads.
