I just discovered that falconers in Missouri are not permitted to use a dog while hawking unless they have a small game hunting license. In our state falconers are not required to have a hunting permit in addition to the falconers permit. However, hunting with a dog makes it a whole new game. Check you state laws!
Your allowed to have a dog in Co. I have no problem with this due to the fact that I have taken a hunters safty class like three or four times (not that I failed just my little brother had to get his so I went with him, then my sister and my stepdad so not a problem for me) but the state does not require a small game license in to hunt with dogs in Co.
