Don't try to be knowledgeable about things you are not. It only makes you look stupid to those of us who know what we're talking about. Having trained/broke/run Beagles and coon hounds for years I know dogs rarely catch deer, even in the winter. Deep crusted snow yes they could. Otherwise no.
They don't have to catch it to kill it. Running the fat off anything when winter is knocking or there or just past will kill them just as dead. Same with pregnant females.
But I'm sure you knew that.

Get off it dufus. I've seen more dogs chase deer than you would in 5 lifetimes. The vast majority will break off the chase or lose the track before they chase far enough to run off an ounce of fat or cause any damage at all. Shyt I've seen deer obviously having fun and being curious with a dog on it's track actually stopping and waiting for the dog to catch up. Byond that, far more deer are killed by automobiles, hunters and coyotes in this State than by dogs yet we still have plenty of deer. Too many in many areas as a matter of fact. Another matter of fact is that it is illegal to shoot a dog for chasing deer here and will result in an animal cruelty charge if you are caught.
