I usually delete my posts after two days.

I've never claimed to be a house painter or a mechanic...it always amazes me how many people want to claim to be a lawyer.

Welcome to Washington and thanks for the generous offer, but the use of dogs for any type of big game hunting in Washington is illegal.

Probably all those shooters with light nocks and rifle guys taking shots to long!!

I'm kidding....don't anybody get worked up.

I think the OP sounds like a very good person to know and has a very good outlook on what he and his dogs are out to accomplish. I hope you get a call or two and somebody has a chance to recover and tag what would have otherwise been coyote food.

definitely illegal here in wa. if a game warden would write me up for running dogs that are leashed on a artificial scent trail that i layed down myself, theres no doubt he would do the same on a actual critter. its stupid but thats our state for you, they hate hounds and will write you up for damn near anything when it comes to hounds. and worst of all they consider it hunting whether or not you have any weapon on you

It is not legal in Washington to use dogs in any way to hunt big game.  Tracking a lost animal or wounded animal is hunting.

Right or wrong, agree or disagree, that's the current law.

That's not true, read the rules of what pursuit is and what hunting it...according to their our laws, tracking animals, on a leash and not armed is no way you can be charged...we've had this discussion several times.  As the law is written it's not illegal.

I was stopped once while in the woods hunting with my kids,I had already tagged out so I  brought my puppy along to keep me company while they hunted.  Got to talking and laughing about having a "dog" with me while hunting because it was obvious the puppy was just along for the ride.  The agent actually said the law is meant to prohibit scenting/tracking and pursuit of live deer and elk, he said tracking of a lost animal with a scent hound is legal but it would have to be clear that is what is going on.

Sounds like this guy has done his homework and is offering a pretty good service.

They took out the line in this year's booklet that a dog in a vehicle or walking on a leash was not pursuit, however that doesn't change the meaning of pursuit.  They can't charge anyone with pursuit if a dog is on a leash.

Is this true, did you get written for that?

Whether legal or not, I will keep you in mind if I ever want to see you take your hound for a walk.   ;)
