I agree, driving deer in bow season sounds like a pretty far stretch but rifle is a whole lot different. We put drives on at our camp but then again we basically have an entire mountain side to ourselves and this seems to be the most productive way of hunting up there. I still enjoy it to this day and probably always will. It takes a lot of knowledge to establish a well run drive. We spend hours reviewing topo maps, lining up standers and drivers and trying to make everything work to a T. If you don't enjoy it than that's fine by me but I think it's a little rough to tear it up the way you did just because it's something you don't particularly care for. I also don't agree with the statement "might as well be shooting them with a spotlight". I think it's bad enough to see anti's tearing us apart for the way we hunt and what we do let alone to have another hunter ripping onour ownhunting methods. And to answer you other question I do believe it's hunting. It takes intelligence, an in depth knowledge of the area and the landscape as well as the ability to coordinate with others to perform a WELL DESIGNED drive. Animals use their instincts and intellect to hunt in packs all the time why should we be any different? This is just my two cents.
