re: Fill me in on the sport of hunting deer with dogs

It is a blast.....but a pain in the arse. Did alot with dogs when i was younger....

I prefer still hunting, but do not blame others who like to run the dogs.

PS: Some huge bucks are killed with dogs!

You sound like a piece of trash criminal. Look in the mirror, little prick.

Completely opposite years ago. Our club was just under 20000 ac. Some of the wealthiest people in the area were members. If you did not have family, political, or business connections, you were not a member. Trash? Not hardly.

Some of the trashiest humans in the world are wealthy.

I had terrible experiences with deer dog hunters in Louisiana. Some of the most entitled people I've met. I understand it for running rabbit or fox, but for deer...nah.

Trying to dog hunt on 100-200 acres surrounded by 5000+ acres of still hunting is just asking for trouble.

Come on guy, we aren't talking about leash laws here.

I can’t imagine why dog hunters get a bad rap.

I just read they this again. Man. Not sure if I’ve seen a trashier post on the OB. This is next-level.

Keep running those deer with dogs.

Flushing game with dogs is about as old of a hunting method as you can get. Very traditional and its awesome. Much more exciting than a box stand and a corn pile.

Sitting on a pile of corn isn't hunting it's premeditated murder When sitting on a pile of corn the decision isn't typically am I going to get a shot it's more so do I feel like cleaning one today.

Dog hunters make it out to be more noble, ethical, and respectable than it really is.

Anti-dog hunters are right in the majority of their complaints, but are a bit harsh on the insults. I get it. I had the misfortune of being in a club where the neighboring lease ran dogs illegally on ROM land. Their practices made me loathe dog hunters. They were the bottom of the barrel. I know all people that run dogs are not like that though.

I've never thought of it as any of those things. I think of it as fun and more sporting than watching a shooting lane or piles of bait.

I know there are guys on here that go out and scout all season and hunt scrape lines in climbers, but the majority of still hunters I know are boxstand corn-pilers.
