ORIGINAL: punisher440 Jeff,from this article[http://www.northamericanwhitetail.com/2010/09/22/deermanagement_naw_debate_1009/ ] "Today, 11 states still allow deer hunting with dogs. However, two of the states, California and Hawaii, have no whitetail populations, and state game management officials tightly control the use of dogs to hunt axis, blacktail and mule deer. So the last bastion of dog-hunting for whitetails is found in nine states that were once part of the Old Confederacy: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Another former Confederate state, Texas, allowed dog-hunting until 1990, when it was banned due to a flood of complaints from landowners and non-hunters. Incidentally, Texas now has an estimated 4 million whitetails, which is the largest population in any individual state or Canadian province." And trust me,I know deer aren't always docile creatures.They can and do attack at times..especially bucks during rut.I just thought the reaction of the dog in the video was funny...since the only thing that appeared damaged was his pride. Thanks for the information, I happily stand corrected.
