Sorry News,

I forgot to address you questions, I was too busy talking to Lanse. I think that I need to buy him a beer, he sure has my blood pressure up. I have a feeling he is playing with me a little bit and enjoys it.

I guess there is always the chance that the dogs can run a booner in front of one of my stands. That's not the point. That's like saying if I shot your dogs with a salt & Pepper gun, they might be better dogs and stay on your own land. I scout my land a bunch and know the natural movement of the deer. When the dogs run, the deer scatter and it takes time for them to get back to normal. Chances are better than not, that we won't see deer on their normal travel routes. If you are in a stand on your land and 20 hunters walked through on a deer drive uninvited, would you think that this might have helped you so you don't confront them. I don't think so. I can see both sides of the problem, mine clearer because I paid for the land. I just don't have a solution and I have not heard one from you. All I hear is that the dogs aren't that bad, quit crying you may have one run by you. If this is all I am going to hear and the only solutions you dog runners have, the tradition you love is truly in trouble.
