Exactly why would you. So do you need a law for that.
Why would anyone be out there with their dog running 3 or 4 hundred yards away?
What would stop that from happening now? If a hiker or bird watcher or boy scout is out with his dog, what keeps it under control now??

To assist with the hunt. You'd be surprised at the abilities of a big game hunting dog. I've seen them in action and I know how effective big game dogs can be. Three or 4 hundred yards away would be pretty much perfect for flushing or herding big game.
The only thing stopping anyone from allowing their dog from harassing wildlife now is the threat of punishment under the law. The big difference is that non-hunters are not carrying guns.
