bwizard91, there was a post simliar to this on bowhunting.com a couple weeks ago. Some said it was illegal in there areas and would do it anyway others would not. I live in an area where its illegal. After seeing the post I spoke to our local game warden to get his opinion. He said as long as he was notified and the dog was leashed he wouldnt have a problem with it after all hes a hunter too and wouldnt want to see the animal suffer or go to waste. So for you guys who would do it anyway in the name if ethics a phone call could potentially get you out of trouble.........1B
