Thinking of driving deer with dogs, I recall hearing how sometimes the deer figure out how and get behind the dogs, too.
About 20yrs back, I was leaning on a tree up the hill here behind the house. I was on crutches at the time, point being I was slowed down and they're not really quiet. Well, this happened kinda later in the evening, but not getting dark yet. I slung my rifle, got the crutches under me, and as I turned to head back to the house, I looked up and here comes a youngish basket-rack 6pt... he came bouncing across my Granddaddy's backyard from 150yds and stopped within 10yds of me. The buck looked back and so did I... here comes a neighbor's two dogs. They weren't hunting dogs... they were more the annoying type. The buck and I looked at each other, back at the dogs, back at each other, and then the buck turned and left. He knew what he was doing.
A while back, after the thread here about the girl who ticked off those Scottish politicians and fakebook nuts, I saw an article about deer hunting in the U.K. and Ireland. The U.K. bans archery for deer. But, the Brits and the Irish have clubs where they pen-raise deer, turn them loose to run the dogs, and capture them alive to do it again next weekend.
