RE: who runs dogs for deer
wow wow wow thats not how we do it at my club.weonly run during the middle of the day when the big boys and girls lay down and stay put,andweonly put them on our land they never run onto other property,unless we are using hounds (which we dont),we use beagles that way the deer is way ahead of the dogs. but i understand were you are coming from ive had that happen during turkey season chasing "foxes" they say. but all i am saying is please you should try it once its pretty fun hearing the dogs light up.

RE: who runs dogs for deer
i use to run dogs, for about 20 years or so. i slowly got out of dog hunting and started still hunting only. i find it much more rewarding still hunting than i ever did dog hunting.

RE: who runs dogs for deer
Like any type of hunting, you'll have folks that do it right and respect other people's property and you'll have folks that are idiots. The first few reply posts are example of the idiots, but that doesn't make all dog hunters bad. On our club, we still hunt from Mid September through Thanksgiving day. The day after thanksgiving through January 1st we run dogs. It is very controlled and we stay on our property. When the dogs are "on something" and headed your way, you get the same rush as when a huge buck walks out when you're on a stand. It also allows you to be more social.
I still enjoy still hunting more, but hunting with dogs is a great time.

I do every weekend of general gun season here in Florida. I'm a member of 2 doghunting clubs and i LOVE it. I would easily trade in stillhunting before i ever gave up doghunting. Here's two bucks we killed last weekend, the first 8pt i got and another buck a friend of mine killed below that,both taken in front of a pack of walker hounds.

I've done it before, and I'd do it again if I stilled lived in a state where I could and knew some guys to go with... Never seen folks standing on the side of the road shooting anything that moved though... Don't know where that's legal.

I dog hunted for close to 30 years and loved it. The main reason we stopped is that it was not possible to lease enough large blocks of land sowe didn't infringe on others. Now I sit in a dang tree like a bird.

RE: who runs dogs for deer
Both those bucks were killed 15 miles southeast of Perry towards Steinhatchee in a club called Sandhill hunt club, but I am also in another doghunting club 8 miles west of Perry adjacent toUS 98. Both are doghunting clubs at their finest.
