How many dogs per hunter would be permissable?

I think you would for sure have to have very tight rules and regulations on number of dogs, distance from the hunter, and many more or you would get guys just letting dogs run and harassing wild life.
Ive seen guys packing in with dogs that had 4 or 5. Would that be acceptable? Hard call. But I think many guys would be happy just to have the limit set at one dog per person. Be tough to get the rules set but I think it could be done to make it a fesable option for hunters in the backcountry.
