The first deer hunts I was part of were drives back East. There weren't a lot of deer back then but we had some success.

I've done a few small drives where one of us pushed a little pocket of brush while another covered the open ground. It worked well in the open wheat country I used to hunt where there were scattered draws with some small pockets of heavy cover.

I've always wanted to try some drives on some of the heavily timbered or brushy islands in some of the bigger Alaska rivers. I think during mid day or warm days it might work well for moose. I always see moose tracks on those islands but I don't know that I've ever heard of any one conducting a drive on them.

A well coordinated drive is an effective way to hunt. I'm anxious to hear the stories folks have to share.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
