![]() ![]() ![]() I remember one I had to be 17 maybe and a guest at my Uncles club, thousands of acres. It was extremely organized with the old timers deciding what drives and directions. I was a rookie and got taken to a stand and that is where I stayed and was given precise directions on where everyone was and so forth. I did not see any deer that day but a few guys did.Īs the years went on we always did a bunch of drives middle of the day with 4 to 6 guys. And as the years went on we turned the drives more into still hunts with no noise unlike the old day drives with barkers. Deer moved a lot slower and the drivers saw a lot more deer. We do a lot of 2 and 3 guy pushes this way in select areas. They have been very successful at times and a useful tool in hard hunted public land. And if you think some of the drives we do are easy. Swamps and mass blowdowns and greembriar thickets 12 feet tall. I have pushed places my feet never got all the way to the ground cause it was so thick!! Or swamps with water up to my pits to get deer off of little humacks. ![]() On the other hand I have been scared silly by other peoples drives! I watched one group push a woodlot one day with two standers in the middle and three drivers on each end all driving to the middle!!!Īnd we are very careful and no one drives with us that has not been with us a good while and deemed more than safe and responsible, and no shots at flying deer, shots are either stopped or walking. I also hunt public land now every year in shotgun. ![]()
