If you actually want to put your hands on the deer a lab is wayyyyy better. Hounds usually have little intrest in something they cant chase.

bullshite. I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I know dogs.

I've had 2 labs, you talk about a ball of energy. I've had tons of beagles, and one bloodhound. We've (my grandfather and I) tried making all of the breeds into blood dogs.

Without a doubt the best I've ever seen was a female beagle named Missy.

Also what the hell do you think is gonna happen with a lab if they spook up a wounded deer... they will chase.


Also we keep our dogs on a 3-6 ft lead. You will have to go through thickets some times, but you're likely gonna have to go through to retrieve the deer anyways.
