Yeah, but with deer season over, folks are getting bored and need entertainment. So,bring on the10 page thread with the fur and feathers flying.
Yup, here we go again.... Showtime!

I don't care for dog hunters. Sorry to say. Here in Virginia it's a big thing east of the Blue Ridge. I have had so many hunts ruined by the baying of hound dogs and watching a doe going Mach IV through the woods. To me it just doesn't make sense. I wasn't brought up around running hound dogs after deer, and I guess I don't understand what all the hub-bub is about anyway. The meat of a deer that has been run into the ground is going to be laced with adrenaline and therefore be way more "gamey" tasting (so I have heard).

I just go bowhunting east of the Blue Ridge (you can't run dogs during bowseason), and when general firearms season comes in, I go out west to the Blue Ridge and National Forests to get away from the dog runners.
