Just your typical VA Dec. 29th foggy 70 degree day on public land. Rained most of the night. First of 3 days of either sex. E scouted an area I know holds does. I was facing a creek bottom until 2 different packs of dogs(illegal on state land) started pushing behind me (spun around on my mission, just like a hang on stand) People have asked how you do it, like that, rope over non-shooting shoulder and lean into it. I feel like this rain has these dog's noses all screwed up. They are running circles, I haven't heard a shot or seen a deer in front of them.
