In North Dakota, dogs harassing wildlife or livestock are considered public nuisance and can be destroyed and if owner is known said owner is responsible for damages.
Well, that pretty much outlaws deer, rabbit, squirrel and * hunting in North Dakota. If this is true it's just one more reason I won't be moving to North Dakota. [:D]
Truth is I probably wouldn't have anyway. North Dakota is a beautiful state but I went through there in late December 1969 in a 1964 Dodge Dart with a vent that wouldn't close. I started thinking I would freeze to death and then started wishing I would. I promised myself I'd try to stay out of North Dakota in winter. It was brutal.
The woods around these parts are just littered with the carcasses of deer that have been run to death or killed by hounds. Beagles seem to be the most deadly. [B)] [:(] [xx(]
I wonder how much the people who write these laws actually know about what they try to make the rest of us live by.
Most of the hunters and farmers here are the same people. Maybe that's why dogs in the woods aren't much of a problem. Roughly nine out of nine hunters hunt with dogs.

From what I understand, 1969 was an extremely warm winter.[:D]
In North Dakota we don't use or need dogs to hunt any of those animals.
That is part of the reason running dogs are fair game because they are not being used for a sporting purpose.
Although it is legal to use hounds for raccoons but that is not considered harassment. Usually we just walk the shelterbelts or the abandoned farmsteads with a flashlight. Gets the job done.
