Question: Is it legal to let my dog run free on crown land while I am grouse hunting? Not in a Provincial or wildland park, though you can apparently get permission for the latter. I'm just talking about regular green area land. I had always thought you could but when we had the discussion about dogs and traps it seemed maybe you couldn't. That would pretty much limit bird hunting with dogs to private land. Please say it isn't true!
It's not illegal to have your dog unleashed on crown land but it is illegal to have your dog running at large or harassing wildlife. There may be exceptions to the rule however but generally speaking for the purpose of bird hunting anyway.
So, to answer your question, it is not illegal to have your dog unleashed on crown land for the purpose of hunting grouse as long as he is not running at large or harassing wildlife. To me, the law is not clearly defined so I guess that it's open to interpretation as to whether or not he is doing either.
