H. Lochmueller) It is a long tradition here in the South dating before the war of Northern Agression to use dogs to hunt deer. The typical deer hound is a gentle dog and they are known to be so unlikely to fight that they are killed by wild dogs here. There seems to be some real prejudice about using dogs to hunt among northerners who move here and one even shoots them as they cross the back of her property beyond her property line! This isn't a moral question, dear moderator. Just a stimulus to discussion. CHL
