I have no problem with someone using a dog to track a downed animal, if it cannot otherwise be tracked. I used to hunt bear a lot in Alaska. A lot of the time they do not leave bllod trails, because their coats are so thick and their metabolism is very slow. THis make following a wounded animal for a distance difficult. If we could not find an animal the day we shot,the following day, we would bring a dog in to recover the bear. It cut down on a lot of waste, because otherwise those bears might no t have been found.
