A part of a law that temporarily allowed bear-hunting dogs to be trained in certain areas of Hancock and Washington counties could become permanent if the full Legislature approves it. Members of the Standing Committee on Inland Fisheries and Wildlife on Monday voted unanimously among those present that LD 751, “An Act to Amend the Hunting Laws Related to the Training of Dogs and Open Training Seasons” ought to pass. That part of the law was scheduled to be repealed on May 1.
