No doubt that drives move deer and the camps that drove deer back in my youth always had a full meat pole. Our camp was mostly made up of dad's older lodge friends and sons of lodge guys who also didn't know what they were doing. Us younger guys were along to drive the green swamps for the old guys and do dishes. We got more deer when I started my own deer camp. Drives were fun for the camp that was making the drive, but not much fun if you were from another group posting on public land when the drivers came through and emptied the woods. People everywhere was pretty much the reason that I sold out in NE WI and drove 350 miles across the state to get away from people. Brown is down was the mentality in the NE and the older deer live where people aren't.
