(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.
