I think if it is legal, then it is fair. I get just the same excitement listening to the dogs getting closer, as i do taking a deer that is ran by dogs. There are days when i don't see a single deer, but the dogs have been tearing through the woods(close to me), and i am exhausted by days end from adrenaline bursts. Also, i love the teamwork of the guys involved(truly involved) in the hunt.
