Don't know what state you live in, but hunting deer with dogs is illegal here.

Hunting with dogs is not hunting. The only skill you need is the ability to fire a weapon.

FLAME AWAY

Can i keep my quail hunting dogs?

[MAWG]

Does that include bird dogs who flush quail and pheasant?

You won't get flamed by me, atleast for deer hunting. Meat from deer that has been chased is horrible in comparison with a deer not chased. The deer walk out into the opening, I am up in the stand, take my binocculars to double check what I saw, then site the deer in my scope as it stands there eating, taking its last meal. Then BOOM from my 7MM Rem. Mag, deer drops dead instantly, no look of fear or terror on its face. Hell, the deer didn't even know what was about to happen.

When I rabbit and squirrel hunt, I do like to occassionally take my mini-dachshund along. He does have a fun time flushing the rabbit from its hole and treeing squirrels.

Yup - barenaked and a rock is what hunting is all about.
