A dog hunter is a lazy basterd that sits on his tailgate and lets a pack of dogs run deer out of the woods ,,,, they usually live in town and have no permission to hunt anywhere but try to locate a deer at nite with a spot lite and then they turn the dogs out at that spot in the morning,,, they will stand on their dog boxes on the side of the road with high powered rifles on their shoulder,, ( this is called catching the dogs, )

Can't do that in PA also. Is it legal to use dogs to hunt deer anywhere in the states? I think it is BS.

I see you're from NC. I'm from NC too.
May I ask you 1 question....
Is that legal in the state of North Carolina?:confused:
Originally, I'm from Pa.
It is illegal to use spot lights or dogs for deer hunting or luring deer to other hunters
You can lose your license for xx amount of years.

you can spot lite deer until 11:00 p.m. as far as running deer with dogs it is legal in N.C. in the eastern half of the state. i have hunted for 30 years ,planting food plots, cutting shooting lane , trying to build a nice deer herd but as soon as one of these dudes see a nice deer standing in a field they tell all there friends and they come back the next morning to run that deer off your land, most of the still hunters work with the land owners to build a relationship but the assplug road hunters will drive through the fields tear up roads and just disrespect anyone in there way,,,, if you can show me one cosiderate dog hunter i'll show 500 considerate still hunters,,,they also like to show there kills on top of there dog boxes ,,thankgiving morning on way to inlaws a guy had a 40-60 pound doe on top of his box (( trophy right?))

Dogs and spotlighting are illegal in Texas as well. Hunting off the road or on someones property without permission is illegal too. How can they get away with hunting from a roadway or on private property without permission? You're liable to get shot in Texas for that.

So you're saying these people come onto your property and hunt? Like I said, you could get shot in Texas for that. Trespassing with a firearm is a Class C felony I believe. Add poaching to that and it would be one helluva fine. And here, it's 100% the game wardens responsibility to enforce game and hunting laws. And they will cut you no slack! I was in my travel trailer the other night. Sound asleep at about 9:30PM. Game warden knocks on the door and announces himself. Checked my hunting license, even though he had no proof I was even there to hunt. I gladly complied because I hate poachers and support the game wardens any time I can.

1st hunting deer with dogs is nothing like what is being described on here . it is unfair to even post that spotlighting and hunting with hounds is even connected . much less hunters trespass on private property in all forms of deer hunting .
2nd if you think baiting deer with food plots is hunting then you are crazy it is cruel and inhumane to kill deer while they are eating from a manmade trap
3rd where im from if you kill a dog you had better hide because if the owners dont get you the commonwealths attorney will prosecute as if you have killed a man

I always try to develop as good a relationship as possible with the game wardens. They will tell you all kinds of useful info if they know that you are behind them all the way. At our old lease we had a great old guy that was the warden for that area. He would come by and sample some of our lease cuisine every now and again. He also caught a couple of guys trying to get onto our lease once and slapped a nice bigass fine on them.
I've never been much of a blind hunter. I prefer the stalk method. My first deer I ever got was spotted from the blind but we were at least 400-500 yards away. Went on the stalk and practically walked right into him and he never heard us, and we didn't even see the doe that ran out to him. When I took the shot I was about 30 yards from him.

Why would hunting with dogs be considered hunting?? I think it would be classified as shooting since your sitting on your fat ass waiting for a dog to chase it by you, No sport in shooting something running for its life.

Something you might want to remember is most dog runners think more of there dogs than they think of you.There s nothing wrong with running dogs as long as you resepct the law here in Mississippi we run our dogs but we dont shoot from the road an we dont trespass.Now keep in mind not all people hunt the same so before you judge some one remember not all dog runners are bad or stupid.Oh yea its not called dog hunting its called hunting with dogs or dog runners we dont hunt dogs we hunt deer.

That is fucked up. A neighbor of ours up in northern michigan had his brother in law running deer off of his property. He shot the dog and called his brother in law, "is your dog home? Well he ain't coming home" I still laugh thinking about that story. I don't see much sport in that type of hunting. I guess for bears, or raccons that climb trees ok, but for whitetails I don't think so.

We have a whole county population both hunters and non hunters that are against deer hunting with dogs. ( Accomac Co. Va) We have one county commissioner that gets money from hunt clubs leasing his land to keep it legal. Every year the hunters let their dogs out on public roads away from their lease and then the dogs run the deer back to their land where they can shot them from their trucks. You can hear the shooters on the CB radios running the roads trying to catch up to their dogs and deer. After listening for a while you clearly know that these people are not sportsman. Often they do not feed the dogs prior to turning them loose. As I Land Surveyor I have found lots of lost dogs in the woods. Their feet and ears are all torn up from briars. We have so many deer in our area that you are going to see atleast 5-10 deer each day still hunting. The hunters that hunt with dogs do it for the Blood Sport and the excitement of the chase. They donate all the meat. Non hunting farmers do not complain too much becuase any dead deer is less crop damage. Adjacent landowners that implement quality deer management are really upset.

Some of you don't have a clue do you? You think that hunting with dogs is not fair, etc. Hunting with dogs has been around since humans have been hunting. Most dogs were bred for this particular reason. You will actually find in our area that there are a lot of people that still hunt and hunt with dogs. It is against the law to shoot from the road, and while I am sure there are some that do, that doesn't mean that we all do.
One of my buddies had a dog get killed on the road Saturday. A couple of dogs got into the road and as I was picking one up some asshole cam barrelling down the road, while he saw what I was trying to do and nailed the dog killing him immediately. Then this asshole doesn't even stop. Actually, he did stop about a mile up the road, got out of his SUV, looked at the front, and hauled ass.
Also, not all of us just sit and wait for the dogs to run them to you. I have been hunting with dogs a long time, and that is just not the way it works. I tag out every year and it is very rarely that I have ever killed a deer close to the truck. Most of the times I seem to end up with a 400 yard drag, so know your facts. There are certain trails that a deer runs, even when running dogs. Don't believe me, Saturday we had 3 seperate bucks run the exact same path on 3 different dog drives. Most of the people bashing us that hunt with dogs don't want to admit they need to mark their way in and out of the woods so they don't get lost.
Last point right now, if it weren't for people who hunt with dogs the deer population would be overpopulated and disease would begin to set into the population. Know your facts!

I think the point is that some dog hunters use the grey areas in the law system to their advantage. This means retrieving a dog off of somebody else property-and shooting a deer in the process.
A club I used to belong to would work with the authorities to catch poachers and spotlighters. We would tell the wardens about people cruising our property lines, then the game wardens would come in and set up a radio controlled dummy. The radio deer would have a wagging tail, ears would twitch. This was a full taxidermy deer with motors and servos inside it.
Those wardens made a killing off of the locals who refused to buy licenses, hunted at night, shot from a vehicle in the road.
Work with the authorities in your area to get the laws changed if you don't want "dog hunters" on your property. Just get somebody who is not in the "good ole boy" club.

Dog running is a big sport in N MS. I am a memeber of a club that is primarily all dog runners.. I am the only one who actually still hunts.. Before I got in the club or knew much about dog running I always had a bad opinion of them.. Now there are some around here who give it a bad name.. But the guys I hunt with are a good group.. they key is they hunt like it should be.. Hunt w/ beagles, short races , never more than a 20 -30 min drive at a time.. Don't run the deer outta the country, stay on our land, and they also show respect to other hunters.. i.e. If I am on my stand they simply don't turn loose in that area.. Also the sport is there,, ever try shooting a good deer or try judging a deer at 200 yds when he is " belly to the ground" ? then you have a window of about 10-15 sec. for a shot which will always be free handed, no time to prop or get on a rest.. I have learned that I like both styles of hunting but will always be a still hunter.. Not all dog runners are a--holes,, but someone made the comment about shooting the dog,, In MS where hunting w/ dogs is legal,, if you kill a mans dog, the owner of the dog get's to name his price for payment of said dog!

"ever try shooting a good deer or try judging a deer at 200 yds when he is " belly to the ground" ? "
Thats not sport. Thats taking a pot-shot and hoping for the best. It shows little respect for the game the dogs or the sport. Your asking for an accident. The value you have for your dogs goes little beyond your words and recouping your investment.
HILLBILLYONLINE
12-16-2008, 11:07 AM
shooting a deer at a full run is a hand full , i think it is the thrill of the chase more than the sport of taking a nice buck, and at 200 yards you have to shoot a rifle so there is even less time to identify what is beyond the deer where the missed shoot bullet will strike........
noluck
12-16-2008, 11:27 AM
I didn't mean to sound any kind of way,, but you do have to account for where you are shooting and the enviroment around you.. It is no different when still hunting.. you take a long shot at a deer or even a relatively close one.. if you aren't aware of your surroundings a missed shot can be bad no matter what.. I was just implying that not all dog hunters are bad guys and that there is some sport to it.. BUT... again i am a still hunter and believe this is how it is supposed to be done.. YOU hunt for the deer not the dogs.. but again just my .02... There is no comparison to still hunting be it in a stand or on the ground.. nothing like the cold air, the anticipation,, the waiting ,, then you hear a small crunch in the leaves,, adrenalin starts up ...killer rush... gotta love it.

you can use dog's up here in Ontario Canada in different zones .The province is maped out into zones for rifle , shotgun only and different start and finish dates. Really Dense bush areas of northern ontario the only way you could ever hunt these areas is with dogs , youd never get the deer moving without them.

we have talked alot about the pros and cons of running deer with dogs and i think it comes down to if it is done in a controlled place where you do not a have a bunch of people it is fine, but when they do it in a heavily populated area it pisses of a lot of people off and there will be problems ,u can dog hunt and have a lot of fun doing it,it's just these men that have no idea where thay are or who owns the land they are on, and when asked to leave usually want to start trouble,,(which i don't mind).

I've hunted both ways. At a Hunt Club that ran dogs on OUR HUNT CLUB PROPERTY.
And Still Hunting and a Friends property with permision.
Shooting a deer at full run with a Shotgun is alot harder to do than shooting a deer that is standing still with a rifle.
I don't really concider shooting a deer with a Rifle a sport. More like going to the grocery store for meat. But to each his own. I'd say there is more poaching with rifles than dogs. I won't do a search but I'd bet if you check the arrest records I'm correct.
I haven't tried it but "Primitive Hunting" would be a challenge and I concider that a Sport.

Rocks and sharp sticks! Archery with hand made arrows and bows. Not home made in a machine shop, hand made beating the tips out of flint with a rock. No cheating and buying string from Lowes, hand make it all.

now thats hunting killing something 200 yards away with no idea that you either see them. im sure that all hunters hunting with rifles taking 200 yard shots dont trespass and thats the safest way to hunt because if you miss we all know that the innocent person a mile away wont get hit by a stray bullet because you wont take a shot until there is a big enough tree to stop the bullet behind him. BE FOR REAL FordSux:
X2...has no clue. Anyone can hit a deer STANDING STILL I'M SURE FROM 200 Yards with a rifle. Try hitting one running with a shotgun at 75 yards and let's see how good you are then.
FWIW, can't use dogs to run deer here. When a dog is seen chasing a deer, dog gets it first.

Using an animal to hunt another animal is nowhere near as rewarding as being the animal hunting the other animal.

The spot I have hunted for the last 2 years hasnt been shit because of the damn dogs running through the property. And you cant call the pound to get a hunting dog, they wont get them.

That's why they make tracking collars so we can track them down. Wouldn't have dogs without them.
Hunting with dogs does screw up still hunting but don’t give the tree huggers a way to stop it. The next thing you won’t be able to hurt a tree by using a tree stand. It stinks that the hunters around you are idiots. I am in Virginia and they keep talking about banning hunting with dogs. I don’t like the dogs but am scared if the stop it the next step is to stop hunting all together.

you still have got to hunt them, collar does not make them come back. buddy went dog hunting last weekend it was 9:00 that night before all the dogs where round up, to much work for meThat's why they make tracking collars so we can track them down. Wouldn't have dogs without them.

I see both sides of this debate and I can say as a serious hunter that while feeders do hold deer, they do not often hold big bucks. I hunt in Barhardt TX south of san angelo and we have managed 10,000 acres for 12 years now and the quality of the deer is night and day I am trying to post a pic of the buck I got this year he is 21 inside 13" G2's 154 wet so I hope to make the book with him in a few weeks if it does not shrink too bad. I say feeders when used correctly are good but I do not like the dog thing. Inherently more dangerous and affects others hunting around you too much
