Running dogs with a bunch of old hunters and listening to their knowledge about where the deer could/should be and what locations to hunt depending time of day and part of the season taught me more about deer habits and hunting in general than any amount of scouting or sitting in a stand ever did.

Your statement is so true. Dog hunters get a bad rap and are called fat and lazy, and some of the standers may be. But the guys that own and walk the dogs know their shite. They know where to lead them to get a jump. One of my favorite parts is when the young guys walk the dogs and the old timers are on the walkie-talkie telling them where to walk to get a deer up.

I'm getting antsy for December 6th just thinking about it.
