We generally hunt from the end of deer season through the spring and a little in the fall before deer season. I've seen hogs screw up deer hunting way worse than dogs. We have the real deal dogs that can clean out properties and places. We get deer leases call us right before season begging us to come run the hogs out.
I personally have multiple places that I dog that I move the hogs out before deer season and have a really nice season with hardly any pressure from them.
The one and only time I could see a gripe for disturbing the deer is if someone is dog hunting during deer season. But that's it and generally no one hunts their dogs during deer season.
Best place I know of in east Texas has been dogged for 40 years and they've killed multiple 200" deer low fence

We/I ran dogs on my place and neighbors places for years real hard from Jan thru March and occasionally other times. Never before or during season.
When your covered in hogs if landowners really care they will let you.....assuming your good people and they know you.
WOULD I LET OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES MY BUDDIES RUN MY PLACE: HELL NO!!!!
Because too many weird people nowadays

Mind you, he was NOT chasing deer, he was hunting hogs but this ranch was so big and fairly remote that the ruckus caused by the vehicles and hog dogs was enough to get animals moving.
Big/old bucks arent going to run for miles just because of a vehicle/dog/hunters though.

All Hog Doggers ... best thing in the world for a 30 deer average Mld working ranch ,small acerage, Bowhunting only lease, little to no cover , high preasured deer as is ( without hog dogs )that is far from the hill country !
Hang on ... wait for it ... wait for it ...[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23].
Am I the only BOWHUNTER on here or what ?
You know pattern a buck , slip in only from time to time when everything is perfect just to check a cam . Never leave a single sign (scent) while doing so to keep that trouphy buck at peace and not alarm him , then Wait for the perfect wind , the perfect day to slip 1 arrow in him ?
I will say it again ... the worst thing a small acreage trouphy bowhunting only deer lease can do is run dogs on it !
Period !

I'd find it hard to believe that running dogs through the same area for long periods of time wouldn't have an affect on the localized deer in said area.To me it just depends on how its spread around the Lease, and how often in one area.If "Uncle Toms" feeder is the "Hog Haven" surely it would have a affect if it was continuous..

Your landowner should find an experienced hog trapper (the commercial guys who trap them and sell them). The commercial guys usually set multiple trap locations, and they often run their traps several times a night to remove multiple groups of pigs.
This, or a helicopter, is the most effective way to control your hog population. The problem w/ the helicopter is it is expensive, and I wouldn't really want a chopper low buzzing my place more than a few times/year.
For hog dogging to really control a large hog population, they will have to be on your place all the time.
