From my name you can tell im a dog person. However I wont tolerate a mean dog. Most squirrel dogs are great around people or are just a one person dog and wont want to be around another person. I can understand shooting a pack of wild dogs, they are a problem that needs to be taken care of. Most hunting dogs will/should/better be deer broke. So I dont think you will see many hunting dogs running deer, unless they are young dogs. Ive only had one encounter with dogs while deer hunting and they wherent after deer. Of course they are the landowners dogs so it wouldnt of mattered.
