I can vouch for the fact that building a house won't deter the deer much, if at all. I live on 15 acres which I also hunt and have one very productive stand literally 70 yards from my house. They did go a bit nocturnal during contruction, but they'll be there. Just don't let your dog run loose (if you have one). That was the worst mistake I made regarding the deer hunting. They'll run deer off more than anything.
