In the hardwoods of Pennsylvania, the best way to hunt deer after the first day is by putting on a drive and having posters and drivers.

Just that most people here do not understand the principals of posting and driving.

When you become a driver, you give up your right to be a poster.

Your job is to move deer into the other hunters.

When I put on a drive, I start at one end of the woods and I push deer until I get to where the posters are at.

My problem with my family members is that when they see deer they quit driving because they want to shoot deer too. When you quit moving the deer, they will go in what ever direction that they want to go because there is nobody forcing them to move in your direction.

So here you are standing in one place waiting for the drivers to come out of the woods and waiting to see the deer, and the drivers are standing 1/2 a mile away because they saw a deer and they wanted to shoot it and it got away and you thought that they were going to put on a drive and the whole time - all they wanted to do was shoot a deer.

Driving deer only works when you have co operation from all the hunters in the party.

If you have 5 - 10 people, you can get 5 - 10 deer a day - if you do it right.
