RE: Dogs Chasing Deer
I'm with Double Creek!
I too spend lots of time and energy trying to fill the tags and freezer. Heck everyone in the parts we hunt in knows its deer season. It's pretty ignorant to let dogs run loose. It's even more ignorant to let em run loose during deer season. I'd have to say for every 6 deer or so we take atleast 1 dog gets it. And that's the way it will continue to be.
Dogs rummaging thru the woods generally tear up any wildlife they can sink their teeth into. Usually not to eat it-just tear it up. They can really devestate pheasant and rabbit populations. Generally, if they can't kill it-or it doesn't kill them, they'll chase it.
Now, Jroot. Just what kinda dog do you have? Is it running on my land?
Hope ya kissed her good-bye before turning her loose!
