Default RE: DEER DRIVE ON OLN

I prefer to hunt on my own, without a drive. But, when done correctly and safely we always harvest deer on our drives. I shot 2 does last year that were both on drives and helped my nephew get his first buck on a drive the year before. When the season (FireArms) has been going for a few days, the deer don't move much at all and the only way to get them moving seems to be drives. We never have more than 10-12 guys on a drive and half are standers usually. I guess on TV, we should be careful what we are representing to the masses. If we show them 25 hunters unloading on 2 deer, the will not like it. If we could show more of the effort of hunting and not the kill, maybe they could respect it better. Personally I enjoy the hunt before the kill, but understand all must happen. If you are willing to eat it, you should be willing to participate in every part of the harvest. Ethics.
