Depends on how good a hunter you are. [&:]

Tree stands will afford an opportunity to almost anyone. Just sit in the stand and shoot. Depending on the area, you can hunt thesame stand for years without having to move it. This seems to work well for young inexperienced hunters whose parents can set everything up for them.

Deer drives, when planned correctly and hunted under the right wind, often provide more opportunity for a skilled hunter. It takes skill of course to plan the proper places to set up where the deer are most likely to move out into the open and provide a good clean shot.

P.S. - This post was made in direct response to the post above, I do realize that stand hunting can actually be work and is very effective in many areas. I don't really feel that stand hunting takes more or less skill than a properly planned deer drive. My deer drive experience has been limited to 3 or 4 at the maximum hunting draws in areas with extremely low deer populations per section where you have to coverthousands of acres in a daywith small patches of 20 or 30 acres of cover scattered around that you have to move through. I've never experienced a large deer drive with dozens of people but I'm not going to automatically dismiss someone that hunts that way. I wasn't going to reply to this thread and see where it went but I figured someone would chime in saying that hunting out of a stand is the only way to go and that only poor hunters participated in deer drives.

Oh well.
