I love my hounds, beagles that is. I can't relate to the dog hunters disrupting everything but man I know about pushers. I hate it. Typically from what I have seen these guys could care less about your hunt. They walk through everything and after a few days the deer hold tight. Due to an unfortunate accident this year to the ring leader of a locale pushers group, they haven't been out. And let me tell you, 3 weeks into gun season and deer are on their feet roaming around. 1st time sence I have been hunting (26 years) to see a deer browsing at 10 am.
