Just a little insight. That buck was his first ever.It was his second season and hehad killed a doe but never a buck so actually he was pretty thrilled with it. We don't need the dogs to kill the deer rather we like to use the dogs. After almost 3 months of still hunting in NC and VA bow and blackpowder a dog hunt can be an exciting change of pace.

As for your other ignorant comments, many of us hunt with dogs and don't drink beer or shoot at you and your son or any of the other things you mentioned but by all means lump us all together and makemore ignorantcomments about the deer people kill because you are obviously a master hunter, I'm sure you fish too so I would guess you are probably a master baiter as well. You would think you would beposting pics of monster deer with all the crap you just talked but the pics prove otherwise, some decent VA bucks for sure but don't kid yourself. Real woods....real deer.....true hunter....whatever , you sound like just another blowhard to me.

Good luck with all of your "trophy conquests" (seriously)and maybe one of the dozens of small bucks you let go will venture past a new hunter and become a trophy to them (even though I'm sure you will be full of smug disapproval).

For the record I don't care whata personhunts or chooses to kill as long as they are respectful of others and follow the game laws, that is what I do and what Iteach my kids and other new hunters to do,it's a pity others have so much trouble with that and feel their way is the only way and anyone else is somehow less of a hunter than they are.
