Talk:Fox hunting legislation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] United States

I added a bit to the United States Section - not sure if I made things more clear or less clear. Hunting regulations in the US vary so much state to state, and they're pretty arcane on top of that.

I'm not sure if there is any state where it's illegal to chase foxes with dogs. I suspect that's the case in Washington, but I couldn't find out for sure by looking over their regulations. In at least one state (Florida) it is illegal to hunt (i.e. possess a firearm in the field) foxes with dogs, but you can chase them. In some jurisdictions, chasing foxes with dogs while not in possession of a firearm might still be considered hunting. In my home state (Nevada) there is one "Hunt Club", but they hunt coyotes not foxes, and pretty much anything goes with coyotes. Toiyabe 03:16, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
