Shaun_300 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 We take my buddy's yellow lab with us waterfowl hunting, also take her deer hunting on the chases, along with another member's black lab. They do good and have a blast running through the woods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainehunter895 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Up here in maine we arent allowed to have our dogs run deer! That must be pretty interesting. We have 19 dogs right now we normally have about 30 in the fall. Ours run bear, bob cat, raccoon, coyote and rabbits! We also have a blacklab we are working on for partridge.. its so much run to hear the dogs sing their song running threw the woods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 My dad used to run dogs for deer. He used Walkers and Beagles. But be careful when they are running through bushes we had a very sad tragedy happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clrj3514 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I live in southeast North Carolina & running deer with dogs is a huge tradition. From my Granddaddy who just passed away in September down to me we've had deer dogs for a long time. In the club i hunt with almost everyone uses Walkers. Occasionally though you'll see some beagles, black & tans, etc. Right now we only have two tri-colored Walkers but I hope to get one or two more before next deer season. It may be outlawed within a few years so we're enjoying it as much as possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Still quite a few dog hunters down here in MS. Season is broken up as to when they can and can't run them. I've been on several dog hunts over the years, there's nothing like a pack burning one up about to break out in a cutover. That being said, I wouldn't trade it for still hunting for nothing in the world. It's also it's a real PITA to have dogs run over on your lease and mess up everything, but I wouldn't jump on the bandwagon to outlaw them like many have down here, I realize it's a heritage. Only a generation ago deer were pretty scarce and dogs were about the only way you could get a shot or even lay eyes on one. I still love to get in on a good rabbit hunt with some good beagles in Feb when our deer season closes. About as much fun as you can have really, love to hear a good dog work.

Rhino Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 About the only time I'm in a hunting situation with fellow hunters using dogs is when they're retrieving waterfowl or doves. One of my best friends has Boykin Spaniels. Been ~38 years since I had my 1st and only season's experience with hunting deer with dogs. That's not for me. Used to hunt rabbits with beagles when I was in my 20's. I went with some guys once hunting wild pigs with dogs. Sounded like good fun till the hunt started. These russians down here take off running in more of a straight line compared to feral hogs that tend to run in circles...I was told that later anyway. Once was enough when more time was spent trying to find the dogs that went cross country. I still have a few friends that hunt pigs with hogs in the offseason.

mainehunter895 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 My boyfriend really wants to go on a hog hunt with dogs..is there any way i could get more information from you? He would be estatic if he could go on one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 We haven't done one in several years. Frankly, it's too much trouble. If you're really looking for one, try to google something up on the net. I know there are places in Texas that do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainehunter895 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ive tried googling an all i got was spam. I contacted one person who was insane on price and didnt even act like he knew what he was talking about so i figured id just hold off until i could talk to some people about a hunt an get reefered.. excuse my spelling errors!

wtnhunt Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Guys around here run rabbits and coons with dogs and also have waterfowl hunters using dogs. So long as they keep up with them I don't have a problem in the world with them. We get dogs of some sort on us almost every year that chase deer. I know the whole deal that "good dogs" well trained won't chase deer, but I see dogs that are not supposed to chase deer doing it almost every year.
