Reasonable unless there are some hard, fast, easily identifiable definitions of what constitutes aiding in the hunt and/or in control.

As stated about Granola crunchers, their dogs are up there and are not causing problems as far as I have ever understood. Most likely hunters dogs would be the same only better as they are often better trained from my personal experience. Also I grew up working on one of the larger sheep ranches in Southern Alberta and we didn't have dogs, but when someone brought a dog along it did not work because the sheep were not conditioned as mentioned by others. If you had a poll I am sure you would find most hunters would feel a dog would hinder and not help them with big game hunting except for cougars and bears.
