If you ask me, I dont think you should be able to hunt anything but birds with dogs. Its not even hunting when you have a dog chase an animal up to a tree and then you walk up and shoot it. People who hunt bears with dogs just make me sick. How can you take your good old time walking through the woods talking and laughing, let your dogs run out a few miles ahead of you and let them find a bear and chase it up a tree, then when ytou hear them bark, you walk up to the bear in the tree and shoot it while its just looking at you and cant go anywhere. You call that hunting?
