RE: Would you Drive Deer on property you trying to manage??
No don' t drive - at least not REALLY do deer drives - We allow hunters to do a 2 man push (one in stand - one skirts the bedding area" - but usally later in the season when not so many people are on the neighboring land. Most times these deer don' t know they are being " pushed" and don' t go very far. It is very important to have predetermined stands set up and to know the " escape" routes.
Note - though that we only control about 200 acres - a fraction of your spread.
