I do want to change the law but I think I'll follow my own path but thanks for the advice...I'll give it the consideration it deserves.
four your records,i'm not against it. as my first post stated,be honest. if i follow sheep trails with my hound (perfect pack/protection breed) he will in very short order learn what we are doing (hunting) and will communicate to me their proximity. in fact, he would probably lead me right to the sheep.

what i have seen of yukon sheep hunting is wide open treeless country where game is visible and a dog would provide no advantage. no so here in alberta.JMHOCO
