99, Deer drives are very or were very common in states like Pa. I know one large group that still hunts this way.. While visiting relatives this fall, I ran into them driving by the place I was staying. there were 10 or 12 of them.. To a man they all had Rem. pump action rifles scoped.. I would guess all were .30-06's.. This style of hunting is fading due to the large tracts of posted ground, and the move to elevated house like stands.. The stand hunters seem to shoot bolt action rifles in .270 or 06.. In this area, long range shooting has been popular for 70 years or more.. Not all but many of the long range shooters use some type of magnum, range finder, and very high powered scope.. I would say this type of shooting is becoming more popular each year.. In the country Mike is talking about it is difficult to still hunt much of the country or spot and stalk, due to posted ground.. This has been occurring at a very rapid rate since the late 90's.
