Section 11-0925. Special dog training areas  


Latest version.
  • 1.  a. A dog owner or trainer may establish and maintain a special dog
      training area on land which the owner  or  trainer  owns  or  has  legal
      control.
        b.  The operator of a special dog training area may at any time during
      the year train the operator's own dogs or the dogs of other  persons  on
      such  area, and permit others to train dogs. The operator may hold field
      trials on wild game, or on liberated game, or on liberated  artificially
      propagated  game,  or  on led or confined game, or may in writing permit
      others to hold such trials, under such conditions  as  shall  be  agreed
      upon  by  the operator and such other person; but no game shall be taken
      by shooting at such field trial. No persons  shall,  on  a  special  dog
      training  area,  train a dog, hold a field trial, enter accompanied by a
      dog, or permit a dog of which he is  the  owner  or  trainer  to  enter,
      except  as provided in this section or in rules adopted pursuant hereto.
      A permit from the department must be obtained before liberation  of  any
      wildlife,  and  such  a permit may be withheld if, in the opinion of the
      department, granting it would endanger the  health  of  native  wildlife
      species.
        2.  The  department  may adopt rules regulating the use of special dog
      training areas.
        3. No person shall hunt on a  special  dog  training  area  except  as
      provided in this section or rules adopted pursuant thereto. The owner of
      the  lands  may  hunt  unprotected wildlife thereon at any time, and the
      owner of the land and others authorized by  such  owner  may  hunt  deer
      thereon during the open season but at no other time.
