In the SC Lowcountry it is legal and I've done it since I could walk it seems. There's nothing like the thrill of hearing a good pack of dogs hammering on one headed your way. I enjoy still hunting sometimes, but it can't even begin to compare to the exitement of hearing a pack of dogs run. If I'm sitting in a treestand and hear dogs coming you can bet I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a possible shot, but mostly it's about the chase. I also enjoy running my dogs in fox pens too, sometimes that can be just as fun but without the kill.
