I have never hunted with dogs or had the desire. Some places or countries thats the norm, but I learned not to bash someone for doing it. Kinda like hunting over a bait pile, not my cup of tea either, if its LEGAL and you enjoy it, go and get a bruiser! Some people are brought up hunting in all kinds of ways, just because I don't practice it doesn't make it wrong, as long as its legal! I feel most people hunt the way they were taught while being new to the sport and change a little as they become more experienced. Some do and some don't. Like I said if its a legal form of hunting, enjoy, I may not approve, but enjoy. Everybody is different! Remember-Keep it Legal! JMO!
