I have no experience with hunting with dogs for deer. However based on the title of your post it looks as if you have people who do drives in the same catagory.

I just got off another site where people don't like those who drive deer. Same basic reasons with the addition of a lack of fair chase. Some even equate drives to poaching with a spotlight(a bit extreme I'd say).

There are slobs who happen to kill deer(notice I didn't call them hunters). They drive deer, sometimes using dogs, they tresspass on others property, they frequently have no regard for game laws or the game they shoot. But they also sit in tree stands, steal other's equipment, kill farmer's livestock, spot light, etc.

As long as hunters take game within they laws of their state and act ethicly and safely then I don't have a problem with them. I may not personaly like the way they hunt but I'm not always right. People don't have to do things the way I would. That's just the way it is.
