I've only tired this style of hunting once in my life as an invite by a hunting club in NC. I have to say first hand it is a different type of deer hunting. And by all means to each there own. I did really enjoy hearing the dogs run but when the deer run by your stand...there are moving. The club I was at as a guest were real safety minded and that you had to stay on stand until picked up, even if you shot your deer. I liked that and they run a class operation as well. A lot of hunters and a lot of stories and as always good food....

Those ole Running Walkers wouldn't have a problem pushing the deer through the mountains. This kind of terrain might be better suited for Beagles, they won't push the deer as hard.

I think it would be great if all the people on the properties around me were using dogs. That should cause a lot of deer to use my property as a safe haven from the dogs.

Its a little easier now a days since most deer hunters put tracking collars on their dogs. Most of the time they try to cut the dogs off before they cross the property lines.

Ownwed hounds for years,lots of fun if you have the room.One thing most people who have never done it dont get,they are not running at the speed of light ,once they get out in front of the dogs,they start picking their way,using their nose.Most shots are not are full hard running deer,and buckshot is VERY lethal.

I have killed several deer in front of hounds while hunting in Eeastern NC. Sure still hunting is fun, but it is a totally different adrenaline rush, when you got hounds roaring and coming straight at you knowing that at any time its gonna happen. Unfortunately it is a dying tradition. As with the case with all types of hunters, a few bad apples give the whole bunch a bad name. Land is a issue, and unless I had 2500+ acres, I would'nt attempt to turn'em out. The clubs I've hunted with had 4400+ continous acres and the other club was 8800+ continous acres. I understand everyones concerns, but I honestly have never seen deer hounds worry about livestock, I sure it has happened, but I've never seen it. I've seen 25 deer hounds running thru a pasture full of cows, but it cause they were trailing a deer, never even paid the cows no attention.
The land we hunted was thicker than anything I've ever seen in TN. Lots and lots of cutovers, and land so flat you can see for 5 miles and stand on can of tuna and see for another 15. Swamps and sure enough hell holes down there. If you watch swamp loggers on the discovery channel, then you can get a feel for some dog running country. Its big time it that area.
Without a doubt, some of the most phenominal shots I've ever seen , were while dog hunting. Old timers will say with buckshot, to put on his nose and pull the trigger, and I will say that has worked for me on different occasions with 3" #1B. But Ive seen guys not even balk at shooting at running deer at 250+ yds with a rifle, and will consistantly make the shot. Some will not believe me, other dog hunters will back me up. These guys grew up shooting running deer, and its second nature to them. Browing BARS are very popular down there. I really miss it and I can honestly say that some of you TN guys would be ruined if you ever did it once, and some are just not cut out for it. I know a guy from here that went down to SE NC and ran dogs with family, and afterwards he went out and bought his lifetime NC license!

If legal here they will try to use the excuse that they couldn't stop their dog and had to go get it, with their gun of coarse. Only the people with expensive dogs and ones who really cares about their neighbors will use collars IMO.
