Description

Tracking dogs.  Allows the use of tracking dogs to find wounded or dead bear or deer during archery, muzzleloader, or firearm bear or deer hunting seasons, so long as those who are conducting the retrieval effort have permission to hunt on or have access to the land and don't have a weapon in their possession. However, if the county allows the hunting of bear or deer with dogs, hunters may carry a weapon and have unrestrained dogs while searching for the wounded or dead animal. Read the Bill »
