Yes, only don't call it hunting, call it 'training', no gun and no public land on Sundays (I think). We hunt private all year long, so that is no big deal.

Lori, you can't hunt private land on Sunday, unless you have permission of landowner.


Sec. 2382. Training dogs on small game.
(a) General rule.--Unless otherwise provided by commission regulation, it is lawful to train a dog or dogs during any time of the calendar year. Persons who are solely training dogs and who comply with the provisions of this section shall not be required to have a hunting or furtaking license. The commission may, by regulation, prohibit or further restrict or relax the training period for specific breeds of dogs on game or wildlife.

(b) Restrictions.--
(1) Any dog being trained pursuant to subsection (a) shall be accompanied by and under the control of the owner or a handler.

(2) The owner or handler or any other person shall not carry a bow and arrow or a firearm fired from the shoulder while training a dog.

(3) No dog shall be permitted to kill or inflict any injury upon the pursued game or wildlife.

(c) Sunday limitation.--It is unlawful to train dogs on privately owned property on Sunday. This limitation shall not apply to:
(1) National or State forest land.
(2) State game lands.
(3) Privately owned property when the consent of the person in charge of the land is first obtained.
