I dont think you would want to have your dog kenneled for the whole day in the middle of November. F&W have enough to worry about with the hunters, and not having to regulate their dogs. imo of course.

I tend to agree with you there. the kenneling stipulation seems dumb to me. The dog could be in your truck without being kenneled. Would you put him in a kennel and then carry the whole way to your hunting area? Not likely. Walk him there? How would it work? Why not simply say you can hunt with a dog but the dog must be on leash at all times? He can track and still be on leash. Always under control.
In any event, it's not a big issue. If you have a dog out with you who ISN'T well controlled and he's running around off-leash the result will be game who are alerted to your presence and hence stay alive, and you go home empty-handed.
