6/22/2023 0 Comments Deer drive with dogsI would much rather see a 12 year old boy standing in a deer drive with dogs, than in his mother's basement shooting make believe people in Call of Duty. I don't enjoy doing some of them, doesn't mean that others don't. Despite that though, I think that all the above mentioned methods of taking animals should remain legal. Shooting pigs and coyotes from airplanes doesn't seem very sporting, but neither does shooting deer behind fences. I've never shot a cross bow, never hunted ducks, or turkeys. But as a coon hunter, I'm not crazy about the thought of 220s possibly being set anywhere, and I'm sure the deer dog hunters feel the same. There are dogs everywhere on public land making it almost impossible to trap. Just because people harvest animals in a way different than you do, doesn't mean it's wrong.Īs a trapper, I hate deer dog season. If I want sport, I'd go squirrel or bird hunting. I wouldn't turn my cows or pigs loose and then try to stalk them to shoot them, lol. I don't look at killing a deer any differently than I do a domestic pig or cow. I've never hunted a deer at a feeder, but thinking I should buy a feeder, because I hunt deer for only one reason and that is for meat. Sometimes I do too, but nothing gets my blood pumping more than hearing a hound chasing a coon through the woods at night. Gary says he enjoys silence when he hunts. People hunt/trap/fish for different reasons. I'd be happy to see a wounded veteran, or an older gentleman who can't walk much anymore shooting a deer behind a fence (or at a feeder) than sitting around feeling sorry for themselves. Just because I don't enjoy doing some of them, doesn't mean that others don't.
