Suggestions have been made to:

a. Provide for overlap of hunting and training for all types of hound-hunting to the greatest extent possible
b. Provide for a period where there would be no hound-hunting or training, with few exceptions
c. Hound-training should avoid times when wildlife are breeding and/or rearing young.
d. Possible exceptions to synchronized training seasons and the period without hound-hunting or training should include raccoon hound-hunting and/or mounted and non-mounted fox hunts, provided that the latter could be differentiated from deer-hound training/hunting under false pretenses
