i've had a lot of dealings with dogs everywhere i hunt. bottom line in my experience, if the dogs are in the woods, you aint shooting deer. its going to depend on the size of the property, and how much he lets the dogs run free at there leisure. ive hunted properties where ive shot deer 75 yds from a dog pen where 30 hounds holler their heads off all day. but those deer were used to it, and the owner never ran his dogs on that land. ive also hunted properties where neighboring dog hunters ran their dogs through occassionally, and you might as well stay at camp. I dont know your exact situation, but from what ive heard, id focus more on staying away from dogs. Good Luck though!
