Garry Bolton, an eastern Ontario hound hunter, has won a noteworthy case that helped clarify an important legal definition in the FWCA.
Well that is interesting. Having hunted with hounds for 20 + years in the 60's I can believe how the rules now are enforced. Is it possible to have a hunting hound that isn't " running at large?" Thanks for the article Meghan.
Its the same for bird dogs too Sharon. Wouldn't be the first time someone said couldn't run my dogs because they are running at large. Would be nice if they made some clear legal definitions for some other regulations too.Quote:

Anyone here who has access to and can share the case reference?
I was under the impression that the dog wasn’t running at large because he had a gps collar on him and the owner of the dog knew where the dog was and was following by automobile. As per the judge. And yes gilroy I believe there is no closed season on coyotes.
The key to the entire issue was that the JP noted the hunter not only had GPS units on his dogs,but,that he also had recall ability. Had he not been able to prove that fact and had to enter private property to retrieve his dogs, the JP's ruling may have been completely different.Quote:
