I want too, but here in the south we have a tradition, it is bitter sweet.. the use of hounds..When it starts.. it's pretty much done with the archery. I enjoy the guys and hearing dogs, and I know many of you don't agree with it, to tell you the truth, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it was gone, however, I grew up doing it and all the clubs here do it, so it is kinda of if you can't beat em, join em. I do have some property that I can hunt that won't get touched by dogs, so Im looking forward to hunting it with the bow during gun season if it is legal. Thanks man for the welcome!!!
