Rewarding when you finally hear the shooting though.

I'm not going to complain about increased opportunities. Opportunities to hunt are great. But it has certainly impacted the bear camp traditions.

Nobody even wants to come up and put on drives anymore. Borden811 says I rely too much on pressure from other hunters but drives are the way we always hunted them. You spent the day driving side hills and the laurel and swamps on top. Now everybody wants to hunt them in their ladder stand with their bow or muzzleloader and nobody wants to do drives
