RE: Drive Hunting
Well your stand hunting credentials certainly don' t give your opinion any merit in my opinion. I believe you have killed 1 deer from a stand with a bow. How does that qualify you to judge? You just told me how little you know about stand hunting. If you truely think that it takes as much skill for someone to say " hey grab your rifle and cover this side of the field" as it does to scout and area, prepare a stand, get into and out of that area without spooking deer, be in the same place that a deer is at the same time he is, and then get an arrow into him? Well sufice to say you sound like someone that has only killed 1 deer with a bow.
One more thing. If you showed up with a pack of beagles where I grew up dog hunting, you would get laughed all the way back to Virginia.

RE: Drive Hunting
I merely stated that stand/blind hunting is more challenging, especially with a bow. As far as the invitation goes, I will have to decline. I have a hunt booked in Illinois this year and one in Wyoming & one in Illinois next year. That' s about all the vacation I have.

RE: Drive Hunting
I have killed 6 that will make the book, with a bow, 2 of them going over 160
Oh yea I have bow hunted 2 full seasons, and my first kill was from the ground, I did all the scouting and stand placements, I do not pay for my hunts except with the sweat of my own brow!
