This sign is posted at the Stillwater Unit. Does anyone know what changes to expect?

What are the issues? Why isn't this information shared prior to it becoming an issue. They have email addresses of most hunters, they know how to find us at HW and they can do press releases.

Well hopefully they will say you can't walk pet dogs out there, only hunting dogs.

Yes, that would be the right thing to do.

Why would someone with a hunting dog be more entitled than someone without?

could make a leash law unless in the act of hunting with a valid hunting license in the pocket of the dog owner

What about training hunting dogs, or exercising? You can't get a bird dog in shape if you keep it on a leash.

Maybe because hunters pay for it.
