[QUOTE="huvrman, post: 5811633, member: 10625"] I was raised in MS. Lived and hunted there for 20+ years. Also hunted extensively in Missouri, Alabama, and now Tennessee, on properties from 800 acre leases to small 40 acre farms. I've always felt MS deer were the toughest to fool because of the history of dog running in that state. Hard to believe it can't have an effect on deer, even if leases of thousands of acres don't allow it. We never allowed dog running on our properties, yet dogs don't know property lines and inevitably some would come through. And you can't keep rutting bucks from traveling off your property onto someone's who does. So, I'd be willing to bet through the life of a buck, he has that to contend with as well. Add that to all the other stressors and it doesn't surprise me at all they find sanctuary areas and and stay nocturnal. [/QUOTE]
