I'm not local to you but interested in the idea, what's your strategy for bow drives? I have a few spots that are bow only that I've considered trying this on but haven't yet.

We use to do this annually and had the hunters. Our xmas hunt was up to 18 bow hunters, but that was only once a year at a state park. My usual group is 6. Like to get 3 to 4 mobile guys, set up and 2 or 3 of us will conduct a "rabbitt " hunt. We know how to push and use the wind to our advantage. The idea is to move em out of beds, but just really nudge them out. Don't want deer flying by

Tough to put together a group. This takes patience and you really got to like it. Then you need to hunt together so you know each hunter, and it takes time.

We use to do this weekly. Younger guys today don't want their deer spooked etc, so they don't care for it. I always had our drivers wear blaze orange vests.

I made several calls to guys, but no interest now. I have done well with 3 guys. One who knows how to push.em, and 2 sitters. Just don't cover that much ground at a time. I always thought it was fun.

Thanks; I thought you were probably in WI, but wanted to make sure because I guess there are Washington Counties in a dozen or more different States.
