And that is what you should have said instead of saying those people lost no days when you know that they did as a User-Group.

That is your Right!

I didn't say they didn't stalk hunt I said they don't give a sh-- about it.

I guess I still don't get it. I have been all over the country seeing this same issue, but with a slight twist everywhere I go. Dog hunting is dying everywhere. Why? The numerous bad apples in the group. For some reason it seems more prevalent here than in other states that I have lived or worked in. That may be due to the regulations on tract size or limitations they had on the dog hunters, I don't know.

What I do know is if the good doggers would police the bad ones, it would legitimate their claim that they can handle it themselves. That has yet to be done and I don't see happening either. Danny and folks like him unfortunately seem to be the exception, not the rule when it comes to that group. Unfortunately in almost a decade of handling land leasing in 4 states I can count on 1 hand how many good experiences I have had with doggers and I can't count the bad ones.

That said, you will not see me advocating to close the season or do away with dog hunting. However, I can see the door closing now...

Usually if I do not give a sh-- about something I don't do it....

Sitting in a tree is a way to pass the time, and maybe fill the freezer, between going hunting. Most of the dog hunters I know would not go through the trouble and expense, if this is the only way they could hunt. Hope this helps.

Who said anything about sitting in a tree......you ever tried actually stalking up a deer? I know and work with many dog hunters and they must be different than most because they bow hunt, plant food plo
ts to SIT on and when dog season is out try to catch the rut in a tree of all things. I have never heard one say they did not like other ways of hunting. Now they do say they love dog hunting but never heard them trash the other forms of hunting they seemed to enjoy.

Wow, you really love to twist words.

Not twisting at all just tired of people claiming people that dog hunt don't give a sh-- about stalk hunting.

Heck I know people that belong to both type clubs every year.

yes you did, just re-read it, no need for me to re-type it for you. Moving on

I can give you a long list of people that quit hunting when our club fell apart about 3 years ago.
Some people will hunt other ways, some people dont give a sh-- about stalk hunting. Not everyone is the same.

I gotta agree, hawndog.

My Dad used to LOVE to deer hunt with dogs and was pretty successful and had some good dogs.

When we decided it was time to quit running deer dogs due to all the 'politics'; he quit, too. I bet he has not been deer hunting more than 2 or 3 times in the past 15 years. He still coon hunts and has a big running pen where he and my uncle run rabbits with beagles just about every day. But, no deer hunting.

over 10000 members in the doghunters assco.dont look like its dying to me.guess yaw will be happy when peta and obama stops it all.u can hunt with your string and stick if your lucky.

buncha asshats

I can agree with that....

Just wondering ....why did your club just fall apart?

wow ,didn't know asking that question would start all of this!

It was internal issues. We set aside about 1000 acres out of 4000 acres, that was stalk hunting only. As we let people in the club that were stalk hunters only, ideas of how to run the club differed. Thats it in a "nutshell".
It was not due to complaints from adjoining landowners.

I can see where that formula would bring about some issues. If I was running a successful dog club there is no way in hell I would start taking in pure stalk hunters and with 4000 acres to run dogs on it sounds like it was a good set up with plenty of land to be able to keep the dogs on most of the time if done right. What county do you hunt in?

Haha funny part is it wasn't even you. Half of all threads, regardless of topic, end up this way.

Well, we have 49 members and only 6 people stalk hunted ANY of the last 2 weeks of January. So now you do know some. If we wanted to stalk hunt, we'd be stalk hunting already.
