In Tennessee, the hunting and trapping guide states that it is 100% illegal to use dogs for the purpose of tracking deer. If you are found doing this, they will confiscate the animal, dogs, weapon and vehicle, and if they want to, they can confiscate your deer stand. I heard a story of a guy who was legally hunting and shot a buck, but the conservation officer had been chasing a guy that he saw using dogs to track them, and the guy ran into the same woods as the hunter who was legally hunting. The hunter saw a buck and shot it, and hy the time he had got back to his truck, the conservation officer was there waiting for him telling him that he was under arrest for the dogs, and he had nothing to do with it!!!! He pleaded and told the officer it wasn't him, so everything was said and done, the officer had a funny feeling, and the hunter and the officer went back in the woods and found the man. He was a nutorious big game poacher in the area who would kill big game just to kill them. The officer apologized and thanked the hunter for his help, so he was not accountable for anything.

But just to plain summarize it, In Tennessee, the use of any dog for tracking deer is strickly illegal.

Thanks Jason

Dogs are legal in Ontario but they must be licensed as well as you ($10/dog). Not only can you track wounded game, you can also use them on drives.

In NS they are legal for tracking wounded game only. Not sure what the exact rules are.

In SK it is illegal to hunt big game with dogs - full stop.
