Again I have been misunderstood. I love dog hunting and I love bowhunting. I like bowhunting more, to me it's more of a total spiritual thing than anything else. It connects me to early man and our ancestry.I will say it again, I feel more in control when bowhunting, but that doesn't mean it' s easy. I know I can find deer and hunt them, but with dogs all that goes out the window. How many people do you know that only dog hunt scout?? All you need to know is where deer are bedding, and try to block it off the best you can,and drop the dogs in strategically, I know this well, I used to be the hunt master in my old club. Yes deer do run certain ways, but the easy part about it is the dogs, they are the key to it all. How many deer would you guys see/kill on a sat in your club without dogs just still hunting?? be honest. I know last year I saw 27 deer on one stand at my club, I also know I would not have seen a one if dogs were not dropped.
