Interesting read. Gone are the good days in Oregon when bear were considered predators, no tag needed, no harvest limit, I was lucky to get in on the last few years of that. Now it is illegal to run bear with a dog unless you are federal wildlife specialist or government agent. Yet last I read there was still about the number harvested, just not by hunters who are license tax payers. Sure a bunch of those are being snared by federal wildlife specialist.

Wisconsin got rid of the hound permit can train as long as the season is open, but the tag is draw, doesn't matter residents or nonresident. The farther east ya go most don't have a hound permit that I recall but require a hunting license and tag for nonresidents to train or hunt during their season which is over the counter. Like West Virginia nonresidents can train from September or October to sometime in March can't remember when their seasons are exactly but they have a couple throughout there. Maine I do believe has a hound permit now but nonresidents can only run during their kill season ..read more

Montana does but it’s now the same as Idaho, gotta draw a hound handler permit for a specific area. I had a great time in New Mexico and everything was over the counter but as soon as the quota gets filled it done no training season.

Hi Everyone, Hope all is well out there. Does anyone have any experience with Allan's dogs? i have seen some old posts but nothing recent. How are these dogs when it comes to grit, intelligence? How do they compare to other bear dogs you have hunted with? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to pm me. Statistics: Posted by Grace3mark — Tue Nov 15, 2022 4:04 pm ..read more
