I' m sorry, but deer drives are NEVER a necessity. They make things easier I am sure, but there are many other methods out there that work as well. If you can' t see a deer any other way, I' d say you need to improve your hunting skills. I' m not trying to insult anyone here, but to say it' s the ONLY way to see deer is just ridiculous. Where I hunt it' s common for people to go all season without seeing a legal deer, but some very nice bucks get shot, and guess what? Driving them is illegal here. It' s one way to hunt........I don' t agree with it but I won' t put anyone down for hunting that way where it is legal to do so. It is not, and never will be, the ONLY way to see deer however, doesn' t matter where you are!
