Contrary to popular belief deer hunters dont own the woods!!! If you have license and your season of choice is open you have just as much right to pursue your game as they do. If a man ever shot or shot at one of my dogs thnking it "ruined" his deer hunt there would be a major issue. And i aint callin no law or warden either. He better make dang sure his deer hunting is worth it. I dont pay them any mind im respectful and.wouldnt want to knowingly drop my dogs down on top of them but if its my only day to run/hunt then i gotta do what I gotta do same as them, ill try keep my distance if they dont like it or understand it thats on them , but if they do something to my dog their in trouble. Jmho. Rabbit meat fills the freezer at my place same as deer meat in theres.
