Default RE: Drive Hunting

I' m not going to get into wether it is hunting or not but I will tell you that in my experiances I have seen many many more bigger deer by still hunting or making small two or three man drives with out all of the hooting and hollarin. A deer is not stupid, if people go into an area year after year doing 15 - 20 man drives the big boys are not going to hang around. Fellas I used to hunt with down in Florida did drives and used dogs and the deer, after the first couple of times, would all but dissapear. If we got any big bucks then it was on the first couple of days and after that it was pretty much a few does and small spikes and fork horns. We also wasted more time fartin around figuring out the next drive or chasing dogs than we did hunting. I never did like it but that' s the way the owner of the land wanted to hunt and it is his land so I went along with him.
