Good post, but not everywhere in those states is like you see on TV brother. Granted they may not get as much pressure, but they are not that easy to kill. The less pressure does help, but it doesn't take away their senses. On the other hand, here in the south and in Va particularly, the deer dogging can reek havoc on the deer herd. Running dogs here has gotten to be a hot issue. I do it, but I put little into it, I finally have enough land now that I can bowhunt all year where dogs won't get on it. It's fun to hear them run, but I don't really care if it gets outlawed. Anyway, that puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the deer b/c these dog guys are running their dogs all year, even in the early spring and summer even though it's illegal, they continue to do it. Deer around here are always on alert because of it.
