Deer

This past weekend I took our dog out in the morning and she spotted some deer moving. She took off after them and disappeared. She is a Chessie two years old and has never done this before. I hollered and blew the whistle. She returned within a minute. I am ready to listen to suggestions.
You gotta nip it right now. Do you have an e collar? The best thing to do that I've heard from so many people and have done myself is to take the dog out where there are a lot of deer and once she starts chasing, crank it up to a high level and zap her once. Only gotta do it once probably before she'll never do it again.

Get an e collar, and when he starts chasing, turn it up as high as it will go, on continuous, and WELD that dog to the ground. Don't let off until the unit shuts itself off. If he is still chasing, do it again. The sounds that he is going to make might make you uneasy, but it's far less painful than getting hit by a car, or getting lost.
This must be done when the dog has a visual on the deer, not just chasing scent. DO NOT call to the dog, or use your whistle or the dog will associate the stimulation with you. (not good) Just act like nothing happened.

I too think the e-ollar is the tool to use. I just wouldn't be as aggresive as Ricky Tick says. Do use the collar on a high setting but once the dog stops or breaks the chase release the button. In most cases that will be almost momentary and do ignore what happened. The dog will find it isn't fun to chase them and will also know the pain stops as soon as they do. Every dog is a little different but I don't want to use any more force than what is necessary to correct an action. Too much and you cn have some unintended results.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.
