Drives are one thing that really makes me frustrated. The public land I hunt constantly has people doing drives come gun season. I don' t understand the need for them since our gun season happens right when the rut is going strong. The deer are moving on their own, they don' t need idiots pushing them.

Yes drives can be effective if done correctly, but I have yet to see a drive done correctly. Every drive I' ve seen consists of guys crashing through every piece of brush they can find while yelling back and forth at each other. A month ago, I was bowhunting when 4 guys decided to do a drive using the techniques I just mentioned. The guy that came by me actually had an arrow nocked. I can' t believe he was even imagining getting a shot at a deer considering the amount of noise they were making.

Drives are legal so to each his own, but it' s certainly not a method of hunting I plan to ever do.
