RE: Deer Drives...
I have no problem with drives if you are doing it on private land. My problem is that I was on a large hunting club last year with about 50 memebers. The club included roughly 12,000 acres of land. Not everyone knew (or cared) where everyones else was hunting. There was a group of guys who were friends with the president of the club and thought they owned the entire club. I would be sitting in my climber hunting and then I would see 5 orange vest headed my way hooting and hollaring completely ruining my hunt. I had this happen to me 3 different times. This is the kinda thing that I don't like. I am not getting back on that club again next year.
I have not real problems with a group of guys who are hunting private lands and know that nobody else is still hunting in that area does a drive. I know when I was little, when my dad would get down off of his stand, he would walk through the thickets instead of the trails to get to me to see if he could push anything my way. I have killed 2 deer this way. |

I didn't try to get personal originallyand yes you stated your opinion and it was something along the lines of:
I find them annoying and basic slob hunting. I do not call it hunting, but driving. Hunting to me is learning deer sign, and how to read it, doing your homework, and it paying off. Hunting is sneaking in that critters home and him not knowing it. Driving is basically stranding an animal, giving him very little way out. I would love to see it banned, myself. |

RE: Deer Drives...
We reserve drives strictly for the last day or afternoon of firearms season here in IL. It certainly will spook the area - that's why we do it as a final thing.
And YES it is private land. |

RE: Deer Drives...
I'm pretty sure that re-reading the postsis not necessary(for me anyways). I took offense to you stating it is slob hunting and that it should be banned. For you to imply that it hurts my feelings(again) or that Iseem "young"is another attempt to belittle me or discredit what I am saying. For an opinion to hurt my feelingsit would have to come from a person who has an opinion that I value. An opinion that I take offense to can come from just about anyone. I could have justsaid "OK some people don't like it" justlike you could have just said "I don't like it". You didn't just say that though, you chose to say it is slob hunting and should be banned and I chose to say what I said in reponse to that. I wasn't reading into anything, I was reading what was there.
Bottom line: You don't like it, think it is slob hunting, and should be banned and I disagree on all fronts. |

RE: Deer Drives...
I'm not for it or against it, all I know is that scaring something to do what it nornally wouldn't; that to me just doesnt seem right but i'm not one to say! It gets the job done i guess...

RE: Deer Drives...
I've hunted some places in S.W.Va,N.Caro,S.Caro,Ga.Md.and P.a that are so thick you woulde'nt see a deer if it were standing 10feet in front of you.To say deer drives are slob hunting is assanine.Driveing deer with dogs has been a tradition in the south for 200 years or better.
There are to many outside influences trying to divide or do away with the hunting community now that we cant afford all this in fighting.Its okay to not like the way another does things but aslong as its within the rules I dont see the harm. Geeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz I think some of you fellers need to get laid!!!!!! |
