I ran into a bunch deer hunting up on top just past Danies during the deer hunt as well. A couple of times they came up right under me while I was poking though the thick stuff and I just about had an accident, something I have not done since I was two. A good dog is great because they will cover five miles for every one that you do. With their nose they really zero in on the birds and are indispensible in tracking down cripples. After years of hunting without a dog, they are like American Express, don't leave home without one. They really improve the quality of the experience.
