In my experience I found dog hunters to be some of the rudest most unethical hunters you could ever have the misfortune of meeting. For the limited time they have to run dogs where I live, they think they own the woods and you shouldn't be out there if you aren't with them. For the majority of dog hunters I've dealt with its about killing as many deer as possible. Its not about killing a deer in a way that allows a quick death and also as little meat damage as possible. They take the majority of their shots at running deer and making it bleed is their goal. If it bleeds the dogs can run it down and it can be shot some more. I have seen deer killed by dog hunters and half the meat was bloodshot beyond being usable.
