I am a recent transplant in British Columbia from the Prairie provinces.
I noticed the seasons overlap in the Regulations. I am aware leashed dogs can accompany hunters while tracking ungulates, however I am wondering how understandings are the locals regarding free-roaming dogs during deer season?
I know where I grew up in Alberta, sometimes deer hunters will shoot a dog running at large even though the owners were only using them for flushing birds, rabbiting or act as coyote decoys. The reason why I am asking is because I own a bark-pointer and would like to hone in his innate ability to spot birds and hold them.
