Have you back packed any? Any amount of weight that dog can carry is a help whether its 5lbs or 30lbs. And if you hunt for 14days that dog is a companion for all the days exept camp moving days(could be zero days or 14), after a harvest or when packing out. That is why I state the main reason is companionship. Im not sure what the rules state where dogs are legal but to me a rule could blanket dogs. Wouldnt have to be pack dogs but any dog. If you stay within strick rules (be under control, not running around)and regulations what is wrong with a dog hunting with you if it isnt packing? Kinda the same isnt it?
SG
Let's take pack dogs off of the table then. Do you think that the current regs that simply state that you cannot hunt big game with dogs or allow your dog to harass wildlife, are sufficient if the regs were changed to allow dogs to accompany you on a big game hunt.

How many dogs per hunter would be permissable?
