The deer i hunt come from a holler about 1/4 mile in the woods near my foodplot. Theres a big cutover on the other side. Every day around 4:30 the dogs would intercept the deer in the hollar and the race was on. Five times there were deer in my foodplot and dogs came out of the woods and ran them off. Our deer went completely nocturnal after a few weeks of that. Went from seeing 20 deer in an evening to zero deer for two weeks. My son saw dogs running deer or patrolling for them every time he climbed a tree in the woods. It got really bad. Theres people hunting all around us. I knew it was just a matter of time before the dogs would disappear. Theres a whole new bunch of dogs this year but i havent seen them running deer. Maybe they wont.
