does running dogs ruin stand hunting?

[wishiwashuntin]

I've hunted public land my whole life and have killed plenty of deer, from the ground and climbers, during and after dog season. I think it does make them more cautious but they don't leave the country. They may not be coming out in the food plot or to the corn pile, during the day, but they're still there. I've never been on a lease but if the rules allow it, find some sign in the thick stuff and set up. The only way I've seen dog hunting hurt an area is when you have morons shooting and wounding everything that shakes a leaf. Other than that, I don't believe they go far or stay away for long.
