While I don't know a whole lot of people who "run deer" anymore (where the heck could you turn a pack of dogs out to mauraude for game?) It is very common east of the Blue Ridge in Va. Most of the hunters are responsible but there are just enough that will sit by their pick'emtrucks drinking and shoot anything that moves. And then if the hounds aren't good hunters they'll dump them at the end of the season. I used to work with a woman that had 17 beagles that she got in that manner. they all had names and lived in the house and she could show you pictures of them and know who was who with no trouble.

well, I can say from my experience that my Papa had a pair of dogs that I
believe he said were Redbone(I was only about 10, and I'm 33 now)...they were always out in 'the run'...never saw them loose...and when I would try to pet/play with them thru the fence, I would get THE speech...'don't mess with them dogs, those are hunting dogs, you'll make them soft'...course, being 10, I didn't know what that meant, I thought they would eat me or something, but I always went back out there the next time...and they always seemed glad to see me...just my 2 cents...Until next time, Becky... |

"Chris Williams" wrote in message ... The radio is droning on and just reported something interesting: the average age of hunters in 1980 was 35; now. it's 42. This concerns various Fish and Game departments because they rely on hunters to control over-population of deer and other species. I've never really known how to feel about hunters. And about their dogs. Those I knew when I was a kid really treated their dogs like 'tools', taking them out to train or hunt, then returning them to a kennel where they spent the rest of their lives. It was considered deleterious to treat them as pets. Has this changed? Some people still think you need to keep a hunting dog outside, so its coat gets thick enough. But I know many hunting dog owners whose dogs are every bit as much a part of the household as mine are. I know at least 8 women at the dog club who hunt with their dogs. |
