LOL ! Years of trail cams and personal experience show that deer go nocturnal if chased by dogs. It takes some time, a month or so for them to start back to a normal (daylight) movement. Besides want to chase deer? That's fine with me but keep it on your own lands. I'm not for banning it, just not for allowing impact in any form on prohibited lands. That means no dogs across property lines and no RTR. Enough is enough and a change is long overdue.
