Default RE: The End of Deer and Dog Hunting in VA

ORIGINAL: daleh

Southern Tradition and Dog Hunting only leads to one thing Bird Dogs. Deer Dogs are something that no Plantation Owner ever had or ever will. The Southern Tradition that folks think of a deer dog hunting didn't come about to the days of tenant houses and trailer parks. I for one would love to keep that out of our history. Deer hunting with dogs is not a gentleman's sport. Any practice involving destruction of another persons property along with trespassing should be held as what it is. "Inconsiderate people participating in an illegal activity" I know some deer doggers are ethical hunters. Just have never seen nor heard of one, but you must be out there somewhere. Wonder Why This is Being Outlawed? Deer Doggers have destroyed the reputation of Sportsman in ever county and in every state. Years ago just about anyone could ask permission to hunt on a farmers land. Now they tell you to go away. Can't you read the Sign.
Have to disagree on this....Deer were hunting with dogs during our Colonial times.....Read the book by Robert Bass "The Swamp Fox"...Read "The Last of the Mohicans"...There are many references to dog hunting during these times...
