I’ve never been a big fan of
driving deer, probably because I always end up being a driver and never a
stander.
The idea is not just to move
deer, but to move deer to a particular location.
It’s a lot like playing dominoes.
If you have everything lined up just right, you just have to push the first one
over and the rest come crashing down.
When pushing deer, I keep my
drivers 50 yards apart. The drivers are staggered to keep the deer moving in
the direction we want. The driver furthest away from the stand starts first. Once
the first driver is 50 yards into the timber or cornfield the second driver
starts. Once a second driver is 50 yards in, the third driver starts and so on
and so on.
This staggered movement is
critical in pushing the deer towards a desired location.
After that, all you have to do is
make sure your stander is well concealed and downwind of the big domino.
