Atb Expand i am on canada's largest hunting/shooting forum and posted up on there last night to get folk from ontario saying its fine for them to use dogs. i am in saskatchewan and the provincial laws are completely different over here. no one from sask has made a comment as of yet.hunting with dogs is frowned upon were i live. i am going to screw with the CO when he gets back to me,well thats if he does lol Quote Link to post

Ted Newgent 4,896 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 finally the conservation officer gets back to me i am allowed to hunt rabbits and hares with my dogs.i am allowed to hunt them also all year round with a rifle with no calibre restrictions or license. i am allowed to go ratting on farms with my dogs also. oh and i cant slip the dog in the town limits on rabbits lol (this is were the majority i have seen) he did nothing but go on and on about if my dogs are seen off their leash in a field were there is deer in the open,my dogs can be lawfully shot. i would go as far to say this wasnt a good interaction with a game warden,as i was under the impression he thought my intentions were to use the dogs to kill deer.this is probably because he asked the breed of dogs and when i mentioned deer/wolfhound his eyes lit up lol i was hoping he would of said it was illegal to hunt rabbits with dogs,my reply would of been "right on.i will go and buy a fckn cat then" 1 Quote Link to post

Born Hunter 17,832 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 What about raccoons/foxes etc mate? A terrier and a big dog seem a good team for f***ing about around brush piles and old barns. 1 Quote Link to post

Expand raccooons should be alright to hunt but foxes are a no no as they are a fur bearing animal there is a local chap who has beagles for rcoons and they chase them up the tree and then they get shot Edited March 1, 2019 by Ted Newgent 1 Quote Link to post

Expand some do go to ground, i have found warrens but not as many as the hedgerows back home some just bury under fallen trees. these cottontails are different to UK rabbits,the first snow in november,they turn white.then the first snow melts and the rabbits stand out like a sore thumb.you see them everywhere lol 1 Quote Link to post

Dinosaurs 2,126 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Get yourself a nice little bushing type dog to work with your runner. If you get a small terrier sort it could work woodpiles etc if not allowed to ferret. Atb Quote Link to post
