We man doged (drives) deer for many years and the still hunt method toward standers on known run ways works very well, it makes the deer nervous when they hear a snap here then nothing then a snap over there then over here,they dont know which way the threat is coming from.We even had guys still hunting behind the main doggers just to catch the sneakers as they circled behind the line (you must have ultimate trust in these guys for safety reasons). Now I hunt with dogs and it is a blast (different folks different strokes). As for not finding the big boys after things get stirred up, might be you dont know where they hole up when the crap hits the fan( ie: a spit of dry land in a swamp, behind the out house, a row of bushs on the front lawn of someones house (seen this one b4 and it was right beside the road with cars/trucks driving by within feet of it), behind my wood pile at the trailer,under someones cottage etc.), in short an out of the way spot where nobody in thier right mind would look for a deer.
