Why are 5 counties that don't allow deer hunting with dogs included in this data? Before you say they are allowed by the state but local laws supersede and ban deer hunting with dogs, tell me why Chatham county was included. Now you may know way houndsmen are suspicious of the NCWRC.
Just a couple of quick comments. I want to look at these numbers a little closer. But with just over 12% of total harvest being dog hunting hard to see how we can be blamed for so many issues about trophy management and such. I was stunned that basically the same % of dog harvest was button bucks as still hunting kills. These numbers sure paint a different picture than what a lot of folks claim. Interested to see the discussion on this one.
