I don't know if it messes them up or not, but I sure wouldn't want people and dogs running around through my hunting area all night, before I show up to morning hunt. I personally feel it will definintely have an affect.

Having grown up hunting deer with dogs, I can honestly say it doesn't bother them.
We actually saw more daylight movement of deer than any non-dog club or property I've ever hunted.

back in the late 70's I asked a game warden if I could shoot a deer that was being run by a dog and he told me I could as long as I shot the dog first...
he told me that it was perfectly legal to shoot a dog that was running a deer....
I never checked on that way back then. I just took his word for it.
I still don't know the law on that.
I have shot a few dogs while on stand. All were what appeared to be strays, but I could not be certain. I do know that I was paying a lease to hunt and there were three dogs running deer on that property most every day. well, there were three, then two, and I never saw the last one after that.
I'm a dog lover and it bothered me to shoot those dogs, but it bothered me more watching them run deer out of the county while I just sat there.
As broke as I was back then, I was not about to let a few stray runied my hunting.....hunting that I had to work overtime to pay for....

I think you could of had dog fights back in the 70's and not go to prison... Times have changed for the better, so you might not want to be so quick on the trigger unless that same game warden is still working your area...LOL

Here is the law for Removal of transmitting collar
39-14-213. Removal of transmitting collars or microchip implants from dogs. —
(a) A person who removes from a dog an electronic or radio transmitting collar or microchip implant without the permission of the owner of the dog and with the intent to prevent or hinder the owner from locating the dog commits a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by fine only; provided, however, that, if the dog wearing an electronic or radio transmitting collar or microchip implant is lost or killed as the proximate result of the removal of the collar or implant, the person commits a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by fine only.
(b) Upon conviction for a violation of this section, the court shall order that the violator pay as restitution to the owner the actual value of a dog lost or killed as a result of the removal of an electronic or radio transmitting collar or microchip implant from the dog by the violator. The court may also order the violator to pay as restitution to the owner any breeding revenues forfeited due to the loss or death of a dog.
[Acts 2007, ch. 70, § 1.]
