I have never run deer with dogs but I run hogs a fair bit. I support both because I do not want to see any type of hunting disappear. That is what the anti's are all about. Get a little nible here, make a little headway over there and before you know it we have all lost more then we can recover.

The difference between chasing hogs and chasing deer is we normally have the woods to ourselves when it is time to catch a hog. If the dogs get on one and cross a fence it is not messing up anyone elses hunt. The trouble with deer dogs is if they venture off of your place they are probably messing up someone elses hunt. This fact makes it easy for us to fight with each other. A little bit of commen sense and tolerance will sure go a long way.....
