I don't dog hunt because frankly I don't understand how it is done or how one could be successful doing it. However, I've been quite successful sitting in a tree while people dog hunt. There are areas I hunt at the Kerr dam that I use dog hunters to my advantage. The local dog hunters pretty much keep to the same pattern and I've seen where the deer run to when they drop the dogs. Sit in these spots and you can't lose.

p.s. I've never witnessed a dog hunter acting in an unsafe manner in that area.
