Don't let my hairy back distract you.
I know what types of clowns can be found during Montana big game season, so we took precautions.

Really? I have fast, wide ranging chukar dogs. They range 200 to 800 yards from me while hunting. Under your definition, my dogs aren't under control and need shot if you see a deer on the hill.
The whole idea that dogs need killed to protect deer is an old myth perpetrated by backyard biologists who deer hunt 1 1/2 days a year. The vast majority of dogs are not deer (or anything) killers.
How big is the hedgehog? If it were a big hedgehog then I would probably shoot it.
If it kills the dog, do you feel bad?
As a result, each year, about 50 dogs and a variety of non-target wildlife fall victim to traps in Montana.
Although the number of pets trapped is still small, in July 2013, the FWP commission identified 25 popular trails on public lands where trappers would have to adhere to a 500-foot setback to keep that number to a minimum.
The Custer Gallatin National Forest issued its own special order in December 2013 to reinforce the setbacks along those 25 trails but the Forest Service doesn’t regulate trapping, said forest spokeswoman Marna Daley.
“One of the things that we encourage recreationists to do is to acquaint themselves with trapping activities occurring in the area and take safety precautions if you’re in an area where trapping is allowed, such as keeping your dog on a leash,” Daley said.
The majority of the trails with setback requirements are around Bozeman, such as those in the Hyalite area, the Bridger Range and a couple in the Gallatin Canyon. That may cause Bozeman residents to forget that such setbacks don’t exist in other parts of the state.
A 50-foot setback is required along public land roads and trails, although nonlethal traps must be 300 feet from any trailhead and 1,000 feet from any campground or dwelling.

Folks always have trouble with that third "S"...
