I don't do traditional drives. I just don't like them.
I'll get down from posting and make a route through areas I think I might be able to kick a deer up towards one of our other hunters. But I won't take part in a traditional party drive with posters.
It's never been my cup of tea.
The guy I hunt with and myself will do that sometimes as well. One person will stay in their stand from 0500 until late, and the other one of us will stay there from 0500 until 0900ish, then get down and walk around still-hunting a little hoping to get them moving if they have hunkered down, especially opening weekend Sunday morning.
The guy I hunt with walked a 10-pointer into me in 2009 doing that, and I have walked a few nice big does to him.
Much safer than driving the tree-line and ducking for cover when 10 dudes empty their shotguns at running deer......
