Default RE: My dogs nose-way to good

Last Thursday morning I was hunting 20 ft up in a tree stand on the edge of a cut bean field.30 minutes into the stand I hear and see a doe 45 yards into the trees with no shotpossible. About 25 minutes later, I spot a beagle coming down the fence that is 60 yards in frontof me. When he got directly in front of me, he stopped, put his nose in the air and started coming my way. He came in within 20 yards of me, looked up and started wagging his tail. He did 4 circles and then started leaving the area. When he got to the edge of the trees, his nose went back up in the air and he took off into the trees. Minutes later, I heard the damn mutt barking. I am sure he was chasing away the deer. I waited for another 30 minutes to leave. After leaving the property, I drove down the road 1/2 mile behind the property. One mile east of the property I spot the damn beagle running back towards the property I was hunting. He sure ruined my hunt that morning. Come to find out it was the landowners dog that had decided the neighbors house was better.

Forgot to tell ya it was 25 degrees that morning and I was sprayed down with earth scent.
