I have never attended any deer hunts with dogs as they are illegal here in WI. I know they use this tactic in other countries to get the red stag moving and other large game animals and it gives me mixed emotions. I wont bash it as I have never done it but yet I wont tolerate any dog chasing deer on my land. A dog chasing deer in WI is as good as dead, stray or not. But i can see in some parts of the country where it is legal why some people do it, as in surrounded by swamp or woods so thick that a child cant even get through them, and in very over populated deer herd areas. If I was to attend a deer hunt with dogs im not sure how id take it or if id really enjoy it as I have been hunting with out them all my life.
