Yes I do I think deer hunting is boring, a hound would make it fun and more of a challenge if they have thier ears pen backed running.. I'm more of a turkey hunter, so deer hunting doesn't really interest me honestly

Really cool pic. Grew up dog hunting. I hope I never hear a dog again when I’m on a deer stand. You spend 15 minutes hunting and the rest of the day hunting the dogs. Most people/ clubs don’t have enough land to contain their dogs so they mess up all the hunting on neighboring property. The presence of the dogs really disrupts rutting behavior and generally makes the deer more nocturnal.

Bruce those are some good looking hounds. Bring a few down to southern Missouri and we'll hunt a few days and leave with less hounds and more money

Not anything like you describe down here.

Back to back large dog hunting clubs....some over 20 thousand acres are bordered by other dog clubs 10 to 12 thousand acres. Large timber company land holdings...100s of thousands of acrrs of contiguous pine forest.

All hounds have GPS tracking collars and most can stop a hot deer race by beeping the collar. Dog knows a shock is coming after the beep, so they stop and come to road/truck.

A buck is ran miles and is back in same area within a day or 2.

This is deer dog (and bear hound, and hog dog) country. They could care less about nocturnal deer movement. Them hounds will make 'em daytime movers.

To me it sucks.
Looks like they hunt deer with dogs?????

Kids are to clean to have been hunting......

Dislike......

Nothing wrong hunting deer with dogs where it is legal.Its Alot of fun.

I agree there’s nothing wrong with it if (big if) you can do it without the dogs winding up on neighboring properties, and it’s legal. I loved hearing the dogs run until I hunted an area where dogs weren’t regularly run and saw a buck chasing a doe for the first time. Some people are hound men. I get it. My Dad was one. It’s more about the dog and the race to them than deer hunting.

Some more from these guy

Awesome pictures.

it would be really cool to go hunt deer with dogs , been the dog since I was 12 , not allowed to run deer with dogs here but kids , you can start them as young as you want .

Same here saw this one the other day. Never though about the seat on top though always tight that was more of a varmint hunter thing

At my Beagle Club's field trials, we'd occasionally get southern guy's come up, just to look for Deer runners to take home.
