Section 11-0923. Dogs

1. No owner or trainer of a dog shall:
    a.  allow  it  to  hunt  deer, or to run at large on enclosed lands on
  which wildlife or  domestic  game  is  possessed  under  license  issued
  pursuant  to  the Fish and Wildlife Law or in any state park, state park
  reservation, state-owned game farm or wildlife refuge or state-owned  or
  leased wildlife management area;
    b.  allow  it  to  run  at  large in fields or woods inhabited by deer
  outside the limits of any city or  village,  except  on  lands  actually
  farmed  or  cultivated by the owner or trainer of the dog or a tenant of
  such owner or trainer.
    2. No owner or trainer of a dog shall take it afield for  training  on
  wild game except from August 16 to April 15 or as otherwise permitted by
  department order.
    3.  Dogs  may  be  trained  on  artificially  propagated game which is
  shackled, or led or confined game, legally  possessed,  or  on  training
  dummies or other artificial devices at any time on lands owned or leased
  by  the owner or trainer of the dog or on lands for which he has written
  permission of the owner or lessee, provided such training is done  in  a
  manner to preclude any disturbances injurious to wildlife.
    4.  During  the  training  of a dog, the trainer and any person in his
  company shall not possess afield a firearm loaded with ammunition  other
  than  blank shells or blank cartridges, or inflict any injury to animals
  or game birds contrary to law.
    5. Dogs hunting deer, or hunting any  wildlife  or  domestic  game  on
  enclosed  lands  described in paragraph a of subdivision 1 or on a state
  game farm or wildlife refuge or wildlife management area, may be  killed
  as provided in section 11-0529.
    6. Wildlife, except skunk, deer and bear, may be taken with the aid of
  a dog, provided, however, that the department is authorized to establish
  a  training  season during which only persons licensed by the department
  pursuant to section 11-0928 of this article may train tracking  dogs  on
  bear.  Such  season  shall  not begin before July first and shall end at
  least eight days in advance of any open hunting season for bear  and  no
  person  participating  in  such  training shall possess a firearm of any
  kind or a longbow. Nothing in this subdivision  shall  be  construed  to
  invalidate  or  otherwise  affect  a permit to track or take bear issued
  pursuant to subdivision one of section 11-0521 of this article.
