I would love to see that happen. The property I hunt borders a logging company that leases there land to some guys who run dogs. Its just not sporting. Opening day of rifle season sounds like a war going on, they shoot anything that moves. My favorite stand to hunt is 100 yards away from the property line, and there are ALWAYS hicks running there darn 4 wheelers under my stand with their dogs. If they respected boundaries a bit more, it wouldnt be as big of a problem, they push a lot of deer onto our land. But I am all for it, get rid of using dogs for hunting.
First- People running dogs are not always 'hicks'.I hunt with multiple people who are college educated, like myself.
Second- If you haven't been deer-doghunting, how do you know it isn't sporting? ( I assume you have never been, or you would know how hard it is to harvest a deer running. I harvest 4-5 bucks during bow/muzzleloader seasons and maybe 2 bucks during general gun season)
Third- Don't judge deer hunters who use dogs by a couple bad apples.I know of PLENTY of still hunters who will shoot spikes when it is not legal and shoot after legal hunting hours.
