On the first question, you're very naive if you don't think this happens on a regular basis from opening day of gun deer season to January 15th every season.
Back before they pretty much banned it altogether in Winston county it started about a week before BOW SEASON. Of course they were just "training their dogs". GW was told dozens of times and said he couldnt do anything unless he caught them with a gun. My response was that he need to brush up on the law. The definition of hunting according to the law is shooting, chasing or otherwise disturbing wildlife.
That would also mean if you have a dog chase a rabbit out of season in your own yard you could be found guilty of hunting! As states by the law....its chasing so it could be considered hunting.
I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!
