One thing I don't understand is how it ruins hunts. I have had dogs run through my farm all morning while bowhunting and still kill deer in the evening. Go figure. The way a lot of people post is like huge packs of dogs run every deer off their property to another state and they never return. The dogs run only a small portion of all deer and they probably bother you and me more than most of the deer. But in fairness I don't do a ton of stillhunting on my farm when shotgun season is in so it could be different/worse then(i.e. more dogs). I usually am doing some late season bow/blackpowder on other land or hunting with my club on the big land(about 4000 acres).
