Tracking in VA

Posted by broadhead on December 24, 2007, 9:59 pm

I have heard that using a tracking dog in VA is illegal. Could someone please explain why to me. It is legal to run deer with dogs in VA during the gun season (at least parts). The only thing I see in the regulations is that it is illegal to use a dog to pursue deer during archery season. Why does this make it illegal to track a wounded deer without a bow or weapon? Or why would it be illegal to track during gun season when you can run deer with dogs. I am sure I am missing something here so it would be great if you could point me in the correct direction.
