Gold, In my past few years hunting alone would not trade it for drive hunting. I do have respect for the guys who do drive hunt. Yes its physical and yes there is mental effort involved. You gotta know the woods just like with stand hunting. You can put 10 guys on stand if you want but if you know the land, you only need 3. The only difference is you dont contain noise (during a drive) and control movements. Oh and yes really good drive hunters play the wind, you dont want the deer moving before you get setup and make your drive. Really if you think about it there is alot involved just like with stand hunting.
