The deer ran away :laughing:
We did some deer drives on Saturday. It was the last day of "muzzlehosing" season. We were all after mature bucks, but did have an order for a doe.
Actually, the guys said "I'll take as many as you get". One doe is all I am willing to fool with, and wanted to take off that property.
The first deer drive involved 5 people. Three on stands and me another guy as dogs. We don't dog hard, we hunt. We sneak in, and at times just walk normal to move deer. Chopper came around the bank below me and I didn't see a thing. I started to swing out in front of him and I could hear deer. They knew I was there, so I walked on past them never stopping. I closed the back door and chopper slid in above me and behind the deer to move them out. The driver yeilded 16 deer, two where bucks.
The big buck only gave a brief passing shot to Scotty, which he missed cleanly. The small buck gave Rick a fairly long shot, and he missed. Scotty shot at the small buck as he crossed the ridge.
The rest of us saw does.
