Those hunters 1/4 mile away don't have to hang stands. They heard there's a new guy in town going to drive the brush by the favorite feeding field. They figure all the deer will be in their end of the woods. All they have to do is take along a 6 pack and wait for the stampede.

Seriously, why would you want to rial all the deer in the area up. Hang a couple stands by the best trails and go hunting. Glass the field at first and last light... you'll soon know what's around. Pushing them off their patterns tells you nothing really. You'll see far more of what deer are around with a low key approach. In a drive you'll probably never see the big bucks.

I totally agree with you davidmil. I was only thinking of still hunting some major runs out there. I am not a fan of the drive or disturbing bedding areas or feeding areas for that matter. I was only thinking of setting up some guys along this field to scout where they are coming and going.

If someone feels like setting up a stand, I am all for that but, would like someone and everyone to know the travel patterns. The field is much to big for me to do it alone. Thought it would be a great day to meet some fellas and maybe someone can score on a nice deer.

I know there are at least 10 major trails coming and going from this field and have only scouted half of it. I will tell those with me where these trails are and I will take the northeast corner to watch what may come from that area.

In no way do I want to send the deer to those drinking beer and just waiting.......
