You guys are allowed to hunt deer with dogs?

You should have a look at how they do it in Sweden: or big dogs running all day chasing moose around till it passes a hunter. Or a little dog carrying a transmitter searching moose. Because it's only a little dog, moose are not afraid and don't start running. Hunters search their dog and try to approach it without being noticed by the moose... both methods will cost me more than my physics would allow.

And it seems that Elvis did find somekind of a donkey to carry his venison home... well I never understood how some could train their help so well, here I have to play donkey... Smile

Great yarn Elvis, and a great hunt. Bit disappointing Kristian never got a shot, but then again, that's hunting mate.

yes Meg is my black bitch in above photo...she is my companion and if a ranger sees me with her I will either put on dark glasses and stumble around or say I was told it was a pack horse when I bought her.
we have dopey regulations as to which hunting blocks you are allowed dogs..supposedly to protect flightless birds...there arent ANY in this block and my "pack horse" is under my control at all times.
she is not allowed to chase a deer...only sniff it out and point it out to me so I can administer lead disprin..she gets big pat and tit bits of meat for reward.
I will see if I can post link to brew or fly at work..both amazing indicater dogs.

yip young Kristian dipped out on squeezing trigger...... this time.
thats NZ bush hunting for you,I consider myself a competent snap shooter,(years of running wallabies with .223 does that.) my wee rifle is set up for that kind of environment where 50 yards is a long way visibility wise. if any of the deer had zigged rather than zagged they may well have dropped into his field of view...they didnt.he got a deer to take home and saw how we hunt...very different from plantation forests in Sweden hopefully next time the hunting gods will smile his way.
