This topic brought back some bad memories from a SC hunt 10 years ago.
Things can get heated quick with dogs .
I was hunting withthe land owner , when he picked me up asked if I'd seen anything . I said one spike runnin from 2 dogs . As we are comin over the hill top he spots 2 dogs and asks , are those the ones ya seen chasin the spike. I said yep , he said he knew the owner and was sick and god d*** tired of him runnin dogs on his property . He stopped the truck got out and shot both them dogs .

Now I love dogs , and was disgusted with this guy killin them dogs.
Dogs only do what they are born or trained to do .
The beagle had a hell of noseand that old man wasone sorry SOB in my opinion. Unfortunately this happens all too frequently.
