i have seen hounds chasing deer , and even came accross the owner on one occasion. he asked me if i had seen the bear his dogs were after because they went in my direction. i told him that thay were chasing deer not a bear . At that point he said they dont chase deer only bears, and wouldn't believe otherwise. have seen this three more times since in the same area. if you ever want to check it out i would be glad to tell you where . some of you may live neer to this place.
