...but maybe you have a different perspective.

First I want to state that this thread has nothing to do with the legitimacy or illegitimacy of running dogs for deer. Please don't make this thread about that. I personally wouldn't do it, but if someone else wants to do it where legal and on private land, I won't say a thing about it.

But when it comes to doing it on public land, I find it distracting, disruptive and borderline disrespectful. It's almost like you are forcing that style of hunting on everyone in the vicinity. You are forcing the rest of the hunters to listen to the dogs' howling, YOUR howling, and are clouding the sonic atmosphere. You're also likely to cross into someone else's "hunting territory", because there are so many of you walking around trying to stir up the deer. I may have spent many, many hours scouting out the perfect spot for a certain wind direction, only to be intruded upon by five hunters and their dogs whooping it up. It just doesn't sit well with me.
