As I think more about this, I place a lot of the blame on the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife of the states for the number of people who turn to driving as their primary form of hunting. In NJ, where I live and hunt, there is a 6 day gun season where bucks or does can be taken. This is often referred to as Buck Week because you are not required to shoot a doe before being able to kill a buck. Many people only hunt these 6 days and therefore they have a lot of pressure to get a deer for the freezer whether doe, spike, button, or monster. I am not sure why you can have a 62 day long permit shotgun season with Earn a Buck in place, but then have a special 5 day unrestricted season for the driving on-slaught.

Sounds like there is a split here between those who prefer driving to stand/still hunting.
