HuntHarder Report post Posted January 13, 2015 I have always understood it to be: You can use a dog to retrieve downed game. If at any point you discover the animal is not deceased, you must immediately pull the dogs off the trail and cease the pursuit using dogs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can continue the chase as long as the dogs are leased, but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotcoues Report post Posted January 13, 2015 Huntharder is correct, but dogs have to be leased at all times. If an animal that you are trying to recover is found alive. Dogs must be pulled immediately. Dale from Wild Heritage Taxidermy rents his bloodhound I believe and has a lot of knowledge about this topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
