I guess the best part of that study for me was the deer that actually got ran by the coon hounds. He was right back were the dogs jumped him by 3:48 that very morning. He didnt stay away for very long at all!
Unlike coons, hogs that dont get caught by dog hunters will leave an area for a significant amount of time before they return. I have personally observed hog infested areas with no deer present at all get hunted hard with dogs, only to have deer start showing up in good numbers after just a few days.
It was like they were hanging out and waiting for the hogs to leave.
I know people see deer and hogs from the same deer stand on the same day regularly but it is different when the hog numbers are high. How many deer hunters do you know that complain about a certain spot that they only see hogs from? They usually stop hunting it all together during deer season and just leave it to the hogs!
Not me! Me and my dogs will be happy to take back that piece of realestate for the deer herd!
