RE: driving deer.....
TXhighrack- how is shooting deer on drives not fair to the deer? they can get away at any time they want. and dangerous? more people are injured or killed FALLING FROM A TREESTAND than are on drives. high fence hunting is a whole nother topic. theres a difference in the deer having a chance to escape rather than being fenced in like a damn farm animal.
Teejay- again, how is it dangerous? like i said, more people in wisconsin are killed or injured falling out of a tree than are on drives. in fact, its a rare day when i hear of people getting shot on drives.
onebullet- that isn't a problem with driving, thats a problem with hunters. shooting a deer more than twice is generally excessive, but it does have its exceptions. 3 or 5 slugs that are scattered about the body do alot of damage. thats just a hunter problem. guy who doesnt have much upstairs.
drives work when its warm and the deer aren't moving at all. it was 74 degrees at the end of october when i was rifle hunting for a doe by myself. had it not been a weekday, i probably would have gotten my dad to do a drive for me. when its in the 50's and 60's during gun sesaon here, we do drives. we usually sit the whole first day and then do drives the rest of the season because the deer dont tend to move a whole lot during daylight hours during the regular 9 day season. drives are just like still hunting and stand hunting, another method you can use to better your success.
