Actually in MI we didn't let our dogs outside all fall (hunting season) because a) collies don't look enough UNLIKE deer to be safe, and b) technically hunters are/were allowed to shoot dogs who are "running" (that is, chasing) deer. I have no idea why...? "Running" livestock animals stresses them out, makes them produce less milk/lose weight/become tough/etc but deer are hardly livestock!
