wow, people fired up about this item. I usually hunt in central virginia and we have dog hunters all around us. I used to hate it, but have found it quite eneficial lately. A lot of the dogs run deer off some of the larger tracts onto our smaller tract. I shot an4 x 2 buckin November because the dogs pushed him and some does onto the property we hunt. I wouldnt have gotten a shot at that deer if it werent for those hounds. I figure its a price the hunt clubs should pay if you kill deer pushed by their dogs on your property.
