Dutch, sound's like you enjoy watching the animal crumple and roll, at a dead run a 50 yrd's? That's hunting? I've shot many deer, and have shot small's and doe's to fill my tag, and the freezer. Never enjoyed the kill, but will never forget the challenge of the hunt, not the 30 minute bush push?
Setting up the drive's, let me help and send you a play book, because it's so technical. Most bush's have natural escape rout's, block them on three sides, set up a shooting line on the other, don't shoot in direction of driver's. Radio the driver's go, gather the spoil's and move to next bush, repeat until truck is full. Today's shotgun's, a 50 yrd shot isn't a sniper maker. And yes, you and Win T will and can fall back on it's population control, doesn't make it hunting, call it what it is, a cull, a meat hunt, your doing a pubic service, and no need to answer back on would you rather have one threw your windshield. The same number's of deer could be harvested by allowing more tag's, and banning party hunting, you either get a deer, on your own, or you don't, but you have to hunt it, not having it pushed by you for your shooting pleasure, for that ever tough 50 yrd shot?
I help harvest alot of corn each fall, and live in the rural. We drive over so many dead deer well combining, I always check them out, buck shot wound's, three legged from a slug, I watch many deer drives from the tractor cab, 6 came out, drive got 3, other's slipped by. Gut what's on the ground, and on to the next block, why bother tracking a wounded deer all afternoon, your doing a public service, and there's more to be had in the next bush.
Guess what my bitch is the wasting of a resource, you may deny it, but I see the result's, drive's waste a lot of deer. As well, many more licenses could be sold, to do the one point, we agree on, population control. Why not, You actually hunt your deer, develop the skills of track's, rub's, daily routs, concealment, scents, not line up, shoot, move to next bush. When the old boy's club's realize they don't need 32 hanging, but instead 100 hunter's more were out there trying, and harvesting the same number, it just seem's closer to hunting, not target practice?
