Have a good friend who is big into running dogs. Mentioned it on here before, but they have a huge lease stretching parts of 3 counties.
Well, it’s def different. When set out some dogs at about 3pm on a track they had lost earlier. Within 15 min they jumped the buck and we’re going 60mph down a mid road trying to cut him off with 6 other trucks doing the same thing. Guy on radio says it’s a damn fine buck.
A lady shoots him in the leg with buckshot, and he keeps going into another block. We go to the power lines and wait. The truck in front of us then gut shoots him, and he comes crawling towards us. I walked up and finished him off with my CC pistol.
Deer ended up being a little 1.5 yr old 8 pt. My buddy says that’s a pretty good deer for dog hunting.
I get why he likes it. He’s very social and high energy. He thinks sitting still in a stand is torture. It’s just not for me. I enjoy the peace and quiet more than the crazy “dog race” as they call it. I appreciate his invite and he’s a great guy, but I’m just not a dog guy

I’ve never been on a hunt like that but you just described exactly what I thought it would be. That’s sad and pathetic

Ain’t got time to age a deer at 60 mph, baw

The "Dog Hunters" are a pain in the arse, they will destroy every road they can get down. posted or not.
I've been 20-30 times and it was always a hoot but I don't want them near my land.
Once the dogs are let out still hunting is done for the year

Damn that's gonna be a fine tasting deer. Nicely done.

There are different levels of sophistication with dog hunters. I know some that are nothing like the ones you describe, and are actually very responsible hunters.
I know a bunch like the ones you describe though.

so trashy

We have family land 3(00 acres) surrounded by a lease than runs dogs. We kill deer every year until they drop the tailgate and then its rare to see one unless it had 4-5 hounds behind it.
They run every day of the dog season, dudes take three/four weeks off.
So I've seen all kinds of shenanigans from these turds.

Hog doggers are even worse.
"I go where my dog goes", etc. Rarely call to ask permission. Will take clips off a T-post so they can pull the barbwire down and drive a 4-wheeler across. Have had many bad experiences dealing with them

That shite right there is exactly what's wrong with this kind of hunting. Pathetic.
Not even going to get into the issues with chasing the deer in a truck.
Anyone that is taking shots like that should have their license revoked. A bad shot is one thing, but shooting at a moving deer? Sad.

DOnt ger me started I hate dog hunters it’s a passion my dad was a dog hunter and he says the only way anyone would kill a deer ggrowing up when he did was with dogs.. I explained to him this is a different time and there are enough deer now days people don’t need to use dogs to kill a deer. I get the part about being a past time but dang it’s sucks every year I get on a good buck and wait on the rut and then they turn the dogs out next door and they always end up on our property atleast once a week for 4 weeks of dog season

Yup, can see why people hate it.
Sounds like a good way to get shot, run over, or in a wreck.
Doesn't really sound like they take to many ethical shots either.

Its even more fun inside a high fence!

Threads like these make me thankful that both my hunting locations don't have any surrounding dog hunters. We still deal with the occasional poacher and 4wheeler joyriders but those seem like small potatoes compared to a dog hunter.

We’ve got too many deer to do stupid shite like that. I think it was a thing years ago when deer were far more scarce but now there’s no advantage to “hunting” like that.
Posted on 12/29/17 at 9:40 am to PT24-7
I thought the hook was way too shiny to get bites but well done
Posted on 12/29/17 at 9:41 am to PT24-7
We let the deer go and gut-shoot the dogs.

That sounds horrendous. I can see where chasing a deer down would be entertaining, but i would much rather know dang well what kind of buck i am shooting before pulling the trigger.
