Please see below the "tracking dog" requirements and if you could please interpret the rule as it pertains to tracking personal kills on private land. I am mostly asking if this rule is in place for tracking of any individuals deer as in "Tracker for hire" or am I required to have my dog certified to track my own deer?
Is this a new rule or has this been in place from inception and where/how does one go about getting certified?
Thank you for any help
