I see it over and over, lease available, no hounds or small game hunting until after deer season. You ask the land owner, "may I run my dogs on your property, not hunt, just run them?" Your answer, "maybe after deer season."
This field study done on collared deer was an interesting read. It shows that running coon dogs had little effect on the deer and did not move them out of their range.
What a person does with their property or lease is their business and right without question. Just wonder how many make that decision based on feelings or fear and not facts provided by research. What say you folks?
