Hunting Strategies - Part 2

Last week I went over the tried and true method of hunting whitetails from an elevated stand.  Today I want to introduce a new strategy, which in some cases is under used.  The idea of organized deer drives has been around for quite some time, but it is not as widely used as the stand method.  To effectively implement an organized deer drive there needs to be walkers (who walk through fields, timber, and draws) and blockers (who sit in designated areas, looking to get a shot on the deer driven out of the path of the walkers).  One tip when planning an organized deer drive is to always know where the other members of your party are at.  Although it is a very useful technique it requires great attention to safety.  Speaking from experience, I can honestly say that this technique has been very useful for me.  In some respects you are essentially creating your own luck because you are going to the deer, rather than waiting on them to come to you.  If you haven't had any luck so far this season I would recommend using this strategy during the last two days of the season!
