I guess I am the oddball because I love bow hunting, gun hunting, still hunting, man drives, dog drives, all of it. I have done every one of these types of hunting this season alone. Variety is the spice of life. With any kind of hunting method you use there are tips and tricks and techniques and strategies that are used. Dog hunting and man drives are no different. If you don't know the land, know the deers patterns (bedding/escape routes/etc.), use the wind, you won't be successful. Dog hunting is quickly becoming a thing of the past with only 11 or 12 states still allowing it, but that is mostly due to lack of large tracts of land and property/landowner issues(understandable). But if you have ever had the oppurtunity to participate in a dog hunt with a good group of safe hunters who know their land and take care of their dogs it can be very fun. Now finding a group of guys like that is hard but not impossible.
I have killed three deer with dogs so far this season and there was nothing inhumane about those hunts or kills, just a freezer full with 2 does and a 7 pointer.
