Well where I hunt (Central ND) there are not alot of areas where you can set up stands. Its alot of open plains and CRP. Very few trees. We do drives every deer gun season. When you do drives the deer dont run right at you. They almost all of the time know exactly where everyone is and will run away from everyone. Just because you in NJ do not do drives you shouldnt be slamming people like me where, in ND or my part of ND do not have the trees for stand hunting. In alot of north dakota this is how people were brought up. Obviously there are areas of the state, river bottoms and such that are great for stand hunting. I hunt there during bow season but during rifle season I can only go to certain areas and they are not suitable for stand hunting so we do drives. So maybe you should know the situation for other people before you go slamming them.
