I've been on a well managed hunt with deer dogs in the south.Deer doggin has been around for hundreds of years and is here to stay.

Hunting deer with dogs is illegal in my state. I've seen the same problems with rabbit and coon dogs that break off and end up wandering on my leased hunting ground or spookin deer on adjacent property.
One guy uses dogs for deer and one for rabbits,coons,birds,fox - NO differance.

A dog is a dog and does what it does which is not always what its supposed to do.That's usually when the problem begins.

Now - Should we lobby to outlaw rabbit,coon,bird,fox dogs/hounds - Of course not.Need education and enforcement - NOT more laws and bickering among hunters.

Everyone should Agree to Disagree or at least Compromise that there is or can be problems with dogs and doggers.

This needs to be done at least in this thread.Hope you all get the drift
