Maybe they are worried about people cheating. Using the dogs to find deer that have not yet been shot.
Bingo. It's a method of control ( and I don't mean that negatively ) ....If you're using a dog to track a deer, how could you verify, if approached by law enforcement, that you are not using it to run deer to another hunter?
I would be completely in favor of it, if there were a way of controlling it so it weren't being used as a form of hunting.
