New, you make a valid point. I m with you on the guy that says he hated dog hunting and anyone that does it. It is hard for those who have not been raised on this type of hunting to understand it. Again, it is not my favorite way, and truthfully, I could care less if I ever killed another deer in front of hounds. With that said, I will hunt with dogs as long as it's legal. It is the friendships with othersthat I enjoy most. I love bowhunting, it is my passion. I do not blackpowder hunt, bow all the way through til gun season. For those who are against dogs and deer, i understand your feelings, but maybe you should ride down here and participate before you make that decision. We are all not poachers and rednecks.
