JMO . . .but to me if you want to use dogs why not just set the woods on fire and wait on the other side. . . seems just about as sporting. I know we try to provide positive feed back in these forums but I just can't get my arms around using dogs to hunt for you.
Sorry. . .[:'(]
Your statement reveals that you have never hunted with dogs. When a buck is chased by dogs, he still as smart as the one that walks by your stand. Most of the time a buck is jumped, he takes off and the hunter follows the dogs. The next time the deer is seen, it's a doe. The bucks know how to put the dogs on another deer's track.
Have you ever tried to jump a buck in his bed? In the places I have hunted, it's so thick that you almost have to step on the deer to get them to move. 2 seconds later you can't see them.
Believe me, there are easier ways to kill a deer. I haven't dog hunted in 20 years, but I do have some fond memories.
