While I would probably not hunt Deer with Dogs, I don't feel there
is anything wrong with doing so. From the articles I have read on 
hunting with Dogs it sounds very sporting. I think people need to
be more open minded to other forms of hunting, especially if they
have not personally try it.  I have hunted Bear several times with
Dogs here in Oregon. I don't like it as much as stalking Deer but 
it is fun and a differnt experiance. I can say that the people
who own and train the Dogs think it is very sporting. Many of them
have much more money and time invested in their Dogs then most
rifle or bow hunters.  To them, a good chase and a successful
hunt is the reward for a lot of hard work careing for and training
their Dogs. Hunting Deer with Dogs should not be compared to the
wild packs of house Dogs that often run and kill Deer, this is 
like comparing hunters to poachers.
