Hmmm. In many places, it's illegal to use dogs to hunt deer. When we had the farm in upstate New York, dogs were locked up tight during deer season, because they were likely to be shot by all us landowners if we saw them out running...even if we didn't see any deer at the time. And there was no recourse for the dog owner, either... Here in Virginia, at least in parts of it, tho, it's legal to use dogs (hounds, I should say) Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "john garnett" <rdg718@xxxxxxxxx> > wow congrats.
