I'm in a Club that does run dogs, I've been around dogs for 30 years +. Were mixed 1/2 still hunters 1/2 dog hunters, If the weather is bad (hot) I'll go make a dog hunt, but over this past 30+ years I've noticed that once the dogs hit the woods the deer are hard to find, they get nocturnal real quick. In the past several years there the still hunters have killed way more & better bucks than the dog hunters. We have pictures of some absolute giants & they will turn out dogs in these areas from several different sides to no avail. Our pictures go from daylight during still hunting only to night time when dog season rolls around. Personally I could do w/o the dogs.
