Settling a bet:
Have heard that its illegal, just wanted to verify - cant seem to find specific call out in the regs. Just having your dog in the truck with you.

It is not illegal.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

if you're hunting big game you cannot use a dog in a capacity that aids in the hunt.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

I suppose if the dog were driving the pickup while you road hunted from the truck bed, it might raise some questions.

LOL, my labs are with me every hunting season when I'm in the truck.  Been checked many times.  A few times the officer had doggy treats for my girls.  Absolutely no issue.


Here's an example of what Bob33 was talking about.

  • How do you measure trying, you do, or you don’t.
If I-594 passes you better not leave any guns in there.  :chuckle:

Just wait until I tell your wife what you called her!  :chuckle:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"
