Thread: Will pig dogs push deer out of an area?

I work part time culling in a pine plantation that has a sparodic pig population. One area is a spot where I regularly shoot fallow deer but every so often pigs will turn up. Which always means the pig doggers turn up and run there dogs. End result is no deer for several weeks and the pigs moved on or killed. Usually takes 4-6 weeks for the deer to return.
This cycled has happened a few times and always turns out the same.
My advice would be no pig dogging until after the rut and then no real harm will be done
