(2)
No person shall take any wildlife except during the open season for the
particular species as prescribed by the department.
Subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to persons who hunt red fox at
night with dogs for sport and not to kill; and who during daylight or night hours
exercise and train rabbit dogs, raccoon dogs, bird dogs, and retrievers, but not
to kill. The department may, however:
(a) Regulate training seasons for rabbit dogs, raccoon dogs, bird dogs, and
retrievers in such manner as not to discriminate against one (1) type of
animal over any other nor as to unduly limit such activities; and
(b) Permit rabbit dog, raccoon dog, bird dog, fox dog, and retriever meets
held by organized clubs, regardless of any hunting season, with the prior
approval of the department provided said approval was requested at least
thirty (30) days prior to the meet.
