I actually wanted to take my dog along when I draw my pronghorn tag, so that I could hunt Hungarian partridge that I often encounter while hunting pronghorn, but I don't need the aggravation of being charged for having the dog with me while hunting big game.
Just to clarify this, I have sent an e-mail to AEP for clarification. If I can get someone from AEP to state that it is legal, and put their name to it, my dog will be accompanying me next fall.

There is no way anyone can or would be charged with having your hound locked in a vehicle while you were actually pursuing big game during an open season. Asinine to think any officer would think any different.
We do it all the time, I put my bow in the truck and let him out with the scatter gun and we chase birds during the mid day.. I would just thank the officer for his stand up comic relief and drive away if they tried something as silly as that
