Check to see if the hounds had been vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian as per the state law. These dog deer hunters think that they are above the law in most aspects. I’d wager the dogs have never seen the inside of a veterinary hospital. There is a subset of hog hunters in Mississippi that use their dogs for feral hogs and do a pretty good job of keeping them healthy and looking after their basic health needs. The deer dog hunters on the other hand usually don’t follow any laws, public land or animal care.
Ahem....
