Use of bloodtrailing dogs?

[jclaws]

Has anyone heard anymore about the rule of being able to use bloodtrailing dogs to find downed deer?

I believe in Iowa it's illegal...

They have been in the process of changing that.

I believe they are legal now. Need to look in the regs to be sure.

If it's legal that might help with the Deer that are lost yearly. Although, I still would like to find a few dead ones.

Yeah, I didn't really understand that comment either. Wouldn't you rather just find sheds than dead bucks?

Because, I mean it's sad to find 'em dead. But, I really don't find very many sheds. So, when I find a dead Buck I think "It's sad, but it's still antler and fun to find".
