There are so many variables for the answer to this question that I could spend days answering this one.
A few basic things that can be touched on are this...
1. In the event that the deputy was pursuing a known felon and saw that person enter onto the property then yes he can search without a warrant.
2. If that person was being pursued for any misdemeanor crime and the deputy saw that person enter onto the property then yes they can do so without a warrant.
3. If that deputy was passing by the property and observed a crime on that property then yes, with limited scope, he could search that property.
To get a better answer than this you would need to be more specific with a lot more information.
Good luck...

If he has probable cause, yes. Post more details, please.
BTW, refusing permission for a routine search (as I always do) does NOT constitute probable cause!
I did get detained once in TN by a trooper who said that he could hold me for up to 3 hours while they brought in a sniffer dog. I told him to go ahead. About 2:55 later, another trooper showed up in a civilian pickup with a large black lab with him. That mutt was instantly my new best buddy. Obviously not a drug dog but a friendly family pet. I introduced myself to the trooper in the pickup as The Pope, got in my car and left.

what property, a house, a car, a open field ???
They can if they beleive someone is in danger, or if they have full beleif that a crime is being committed at that time and getting a warrant may loose them evidence.
example, a deputy sees a spotlight in the field, ( it appears to him someone is spotlighting a deer) he could enter that field to check out that car because it appears a crime in being committed.
He is walking by a house and hears someone yell "help" he could enter the house.
So while normally not, it is possible

if they are chasing someone, then yes. if they have probable cause, then yes. if its in open view, then yes. if the property is not gated off or have no trespassing signs and you can just walk in, then yes.
