Title: Success on late season deer drive
Post by: Anthony Lalli on January 09, 2021, 06:30:20 PM
 I have a few buddy's that like to get together for some late season deer drives with archery equipment. Today we were out and I was fortunate to get a shot at an antlerless deer. My 47# shrew 'lil favorite' sent the arrow perfectly to its mark !  Anybody else like doing drives with archery gear ?

We haven't done deer drives in about 20 years since brother died.

Love late season deer drives with snow.  I miss more than I hit but still is a lot of fun.  Congratulations

Deer drives, or rather pushes, is the only way we hunt the late season. We have a woodlot that is perfect for it. The standers positions are at a ridge where the deer pause and walk as they enter the lower portion to the field. We would never take a running shot.

Congratulations!  I've been solo hunting for deer since the 70's.  Used to gun hunt with family as a youngster.

Our hunting party used to make drives all the time. Now there's only three left and two don't hunt anymore. So now...I sit a lot ! Congrats on your deer.

Congrats. Yes we do deer pushes with bows, I've shot a half dozen deer that way. You get good at predicting  how deer use wind based on the pace of the drive. I always bring a pruning shears to trim a few twigs for a shooting lane and hide behind a tree, as deer approach I put my back to the tree and squirrel around tree where I boot scraped the leaves down to dirt to eliminate noise, then  shoot em as they pass by.
