In about in the same manner that hunters walking around your property jump shooting at deer would help…..Sure, they may run one by you and temporarily help your situation but the long term impacts are gonna mean that deer move less and reduce their range size. It’s actually not a complete black and white issue of whether is does or doesn’t …..It depends on the frequency of occurrences. A hunter walking through the woods jump shooting at them two or three days out of the season probably has little influence……Someone doing it two or three days a week is a different story. Same with dogs and yotes…..A little harassing only effects a few deer a few times in their lives…..A lot of harassing starts effecting every deer in the herd over time…..Its a learned behavior…..A reaction to something they perceive as a threat……A predator pursuing them....They react to all of it the same....move less....reduce range
