The Sport of Beagling

Question:
I am new to the sport of beagling and I was thinking about taking my dogs out rabbit hunting. I don't carry a gun yet because I haven't had the chance to practice shooting at low, moving targets. Therefore, I was wondering whether I really need a hunting license if I don't actually shoot a rabbit? One of the legal methods listed in the regulations for the take of rabbits is with dogs, so are they the same as having a gun?
Answer:
Dogs are a legal method of take and are considered an extension of the hunter. Since take is defined as hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill you would be required to have a hunting license to use your dogs to pursue game.
