Killer Primate, congrats on one of the most reasonable posts on this topic.

I'm not a deer dog hunter but don't want to see anybody losing any type of hunting. Once it's gone it's gone forever and I would hate that.

With that being said, too manyposts on this topic and others on this board list deer dog problems that sound serious and genuine.

Denying that there is a problem will backfire andjust sounds arrogant. I'm glad to see that at least some deer dog hunters are working on improving their image.
