My favorite Winslow Homer painting is of this Adirondack hunting scene. The hound has driven the shot buck into a body of water, where it has expired, and the hunter (a young man) has come out to collect his quarry.
But he hopes that damned dog doesn’t swamp his canoe!
Hunting deer with dogs is now illegal in most of the US, except for some parts of the South, where “dog hunting” is still a tradition. Northerners gave up on the practice long ago.
