does running dogs ruin stand hunting?

Only year we ever run hog dogs on our lease before bow season was the best deer season we ever had on numbers and quality. All the surrounding leases where loaded with hogs and not seeing the deer. The hogs did not show back up till end of rifle season. This last season we did not run hog dogs before bow season and we were infested with hogs. Coincidence I think not

Wow, that is amazing. I would never have thought that dogs running and yelping in your deer hunting area would work out like that. Like you say, it must have something to do with so many hogs. We don't any wild hogs here at all and can only run dogs for rabbits or birds. This is why I like this forum so much, stories and threads like this. Cheers and keep em coming
