RE: dogs and deer help
I have VERY strong feelings about having dogs (domestic or not) running around where I intend to hunt. My personal approach tofree roamingdogs isdose of "bad medicine" from my shotgun or rifle (whichevers handy). I "cured" two about a month ago. Of course, this doesn't help your problem, but I would be concerned about having the a dog around my stand sites especially as seasongets closer. This could be touchy since this guy is supposed to be a "friend".
This just and after thought, but you could make a point of peeing around his stand to see if he might takethe hint.
