Where were the dogs barking, were they house dogs up by the houses on the hardroad or were they back toward the back. Where did the shots come from? I did not think anyone else was going to be back in the fields.. hopefully it was the farmer checking to see if he can cut. It is going to be a long walk around the entire field edge to get the back with the corn up

As far as the deer hagning around, if it was the hosue dogs barking then I am sure he knows that as well. I have seen deer feed within 50 yards of dogs on a chain on in a kennel barking their heads off and the deer not pay it much mind at all.
