Hello, I've seen videos with guys hunting deer with dogs in the south. Has anyone done this and how was it? Also are there any guides for this type of hunt? I've looked into it and haven't found any.
............... It was the traditional way to hunt deer in the Virginia and Carolina Low Country from well before the revolution. And before condemning it out of hand one might take a little hike in the “bays” below Charleston or a cypress swamp anywhere along the South’s coast to get a sense how difficult stand hunting can be in that environment.

It is a traditional way of hunting and hunters should support it even if they do not do it. Leave your judgements and condemnations somewhere else if you want to preserve the tradition of hunting. Otherwise, do not act as if your actions or club memberships to organizations trting to protect all legal hunting mean anything.
I have no idea what you are talking about and clearly you have never been around a drive hunt. Exactly what quarter of a million hunters were adversely affected by a hound hunt? Where - precisely - did that take place?I'm all for preserving traditional ways of hunting. When the time comes when a hunting method causes significantly more harm than good though, then putting an end to it is on the table imo. Ruining 250,000 hunters day to make 500 people happy is no bueno.
If a state wants to set aside a weekend in mid-january when all other deer hunting is over, then that's a consideration I suppose.
