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

This has been my experience in one block I manage. The fallow are used to dogs on the track and generally avoid the track during daylight. They will travel and browse the track at night.

One neighbouring landowner owns a mongrel "rescue dog" that chased, attacked and killed a fallow buck. The area was very quiet for a month afterwards.
