Deer hunting with dogs is fun and exciting. That is when it is done on a large club run by a group of hunters that respect the surrounding landowners and the deer being hunted.
To me hunting deer with dogs is the same as bird hunting with a dog. To me it's as much about enjoying the dog working hard for his master as it is about killing game.
Please don't bring up all these examples of poorly run dog hunts. I was a still hunter for over 20 years before I got involved with deer dogs. I know what it's like to be up a tree and have dogs spoil a mornings hunt.
There are just as many bozo's that can give hunting a bad name that don't dog hunt as there are that do.

I will take anybody who wants to see dog hunting at it's best as a guest to my club next year. Oh yeah you'll need to bring a shotgun and $20 guest fee. I pay the $3 for your breakfast at the clubhouse.
