Irish Ban Deer Hunting With Dogs

[Dan Schmidt]

Ireland's new law goes against public support of deer hunt. Hunt followers fear precedent.

Where I hunt in Ohio dogs aren't legal anyway and I agree with not using dogs. I've seen few dogs tracking deer and while I don't think I'd have the heart to shoot a dog, It's crossed my mind. Seeing those poor deer with tounges hanging out being tracked and chased to exhaustion, isn't fair to them and should be considered for all those who use dogs.
