Yes.
I am tired of seeing hunters divided.
That said I hate hunting deer with dogs.
Why?
Well it's a personal thing derived from a lifetime spent actually pursuing deer with dogs on one end, and spending another life hunting deer on the other end.
You see, I have been on each end, and seen both perspectives.
Now I must say that there are some very good old boys that run deer dogs, and I would like to see that way of life continued! These guy's are very organized. They have ten's of thousands of acres leased, and they pretty much keep their dogs on their lease. And the dogs that get off there lease only enter into another lease. (Who also run dogs)
The situation I just described, as you all know, is a south Arkansas situation, where I have a Deer lease.
Now the other side!
These "good ol' boy's" have a pack of walkers. They live around Dover, Alma, Mena, Scottland, Ola, take your pick! (anywhere in the hills of Arkansas)
They go out, drinking beer, with CB radios, ATV's, and high powered rifles. Knowing full well they have no right running their dogs where they are, and if they do, they dont care where there dogs go, because they will just say "my dog cant read, he didnt know that was your property"!
I hate those guys, and to tell you the truth, they ruined it for ALL dog deer hunters in my state!
Ban all Deer dogs, stop the madness!
If you are too stupid to be able to kill a deer with your own skills, then you deserve to starve in my opinion. Or draw welfare, like a good Democrat/Liberal should!
Oh and if you have 100 acres, and say your dogs never leave your property, then you are even more stupid than me!
