RE: What do you think about deer drives?
For the time spent in the woods, doing drives is the most productive method of hunting.
We have been involved in drives but not the traditional kind.
Rather, we have 1-2-3 hunters slowly hunt their way to another who is staying in his treestand. It may take a while before we are all together and we have kicked up some deer at times.
This is definitely the exception to our way of hunting but when someone tags and the other 2-3 guys head over to help, we often slowly work our way to the hunter who is closest to the guy who tagged. Often enough, we have moved deer near that area. It's a good way to take advantage of others walking through and has resulted in dragging 2 deer out of the woods rather than only one.
