Default When to kill varmints before Deer Season?

I have some property that I recently allocated for deer hunting purposes but I know there is a healthy population of hogs that reside in the immidiate area. I have no problem shooting the hogs and wouldnt hesitate to hunt from now until season opening (November 1) but I know it would do nothing but spook the deer as a result.

My questions are:
1) Knowing my season starts Nov. 1, at what point should I stop killing hogs and let the area cool off from human activity so that the deer aren't spooked too badly at the start of my season?

2) Should I try to avoid killing the hogs near my food plot and feeder and wait until they are atleast 40-50 yards away or does it really matter?
