Comment
I am strongly opposed to this proposal. To be blunt, it's an inhumane way to treat wild animals, there are multiple alternatives for both scent training and exercise for hunting dogs, and no compelling reasons were presented at all for the reversal of the original decision to wind down the licensing program.
'Neutral to positive' potential revenues are not enough to justify a step backwards in animal welfare. I know plenty of hunters who train very fine dogs without ever considering train and trial areas.
