Not for bear that is, maybe for coyote and coon. Bear has its own set season when they can be pursued in terms of training purposes, July 1 through August 31. No matter state or private land I'm sure the warden didn't fully understand the question asked.
warden said leash law only pretains to state and dnr owned land north of hwy 29 that is the only stipulation to the leash law other wise you can run your hounds on any thing you want to run
This is written in the bear hunting regulations..... it is illegal to: hunt or pursue any free-roaming wild animal with the aid of any dog from may 1 to June 30 north of the highways shown on the map below (Google wi bear training season and to see map) Except for approved dog trials and training on free roaming rabbits or raccoons under a hound dog trial or training license.
