If tracking a wounded deer after the shot, how many tracking dogs may be used?

When tracking a wounded deer after a shot, regulations limit the tracking dog to a single dog that is kept on a leash. This keeps the pursuit under clear control, enhances safety for people and the animal, and helps ensure the hunter can reliably manage the dog’s movements. Having just one leashed dog prevents confusion, interference, and potential harm that could arise if multiple dogs were involved or if a dog were unrestrained.
