Anyone hunting with dogs?

[Highlander]

I dont hunt with dogs,.. but I think I could soon be if I wanted it,... I have three German Shepherds, and I walk them on the hill most days, most days we see deer, and when we do, I control them and keep the close,... they would dearly like to chase, but they are trained well enough to do as they are told.

If I was to find the need to hunt with them, it wouldn't just be a case of letting them go, because although my dogs are fit, they wouldn't be able to catch a fleet of foot deer, hunting dogs use tactics that domestic dogs dont know about

.... but having said that I would choose a place where a deer would be restricted in its escape routes, against the forestry fences is an obvious place, then they would catch it,... so after the shtf its a possibility,... but only a possibility as stags are not defenseless, they will turn and I would risk the dogs on a stag
