Baiting and using dogs are both illegal in Minnesota. In my opinion, andI bet others as well, the use ofdogs does not lend itself to "fairchase" hunting. I guess youcould also make a case that baiting interfers with fair chase as well.
But the question was why one and not the other?? Rabbit and bird hunters use dogs. Waterfowlers use dogs..do you see where i'm going? You can't compare everything to everything else. Each is an individual case.
I get you. I agree that you can make a case the using dogs for rabbit and bird such as pheasants is the same, but the waterfowlers that I know only use dogs to retrieve and not chase.
