This is incorrect. Every gun accident has to be reported by law. The DNR has a summary of accidents every year on there website. Last year was the safest with only three non fatal accidents. Only one was during a drive. James, you need to fact check before you post. Nah, I wasn't born yesterday. Not only do you not back up your claim with an authority or link, but you're remark is limited to a single year. Jim

James, James, James, I'd rather go quail hunting with Dick Cheney, than on a ride with Ted Kennedy. I wouldn't do either one. Jim

That's just BS. When I was a kid every farmer and his friends set up deer drives and pushed every piece of woods In the area. We did It for 20 some year's AND NO ONE EVER GOT SHOT. Ditto. With the clueless, emotion based morons nowadays, it may well be a bad idea to do drives. However with sane, normal, well disciplined people drives are the best and safest way to put venison, and many other meats, on the table.

i'd like to see the numbers of those hurt on deer drives versus those that fall from trees while hunting. In PA last couple yrs more treestand accidents than shootings.

Wisconsin has reported "for the last 10 years, 39 percent of deer hunting incidents were the direct result of deer drives.” https://georgesoutdoornews.bangorda...ne-woods/deer-driving-law-reinterpreted/In 2016 Wisconsin reported eleven hunter shooting incidents. https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/documents/incident/2016HuntingIncidentSynopsis.pdf The biggest cause was self-inflicted wounds due to mishandling a firearm. Second biggest cause was shooting a nearby partner due to mishandling a firearm. Then there are a few quail, grouse, and turkey hunters. There are only four incidents involving hunters actively hunting deer. In two, the hunter lost control of his gun while moving in a tree or tower blind and shot himself. The other two incidents involve hunters shot during deer drives. We can accurately say that 100 percent of the shootings of big game hunters by another hunter were the result of deer drives gone wrong. Two hunters shot in God knows how many deer drives is not a lot. You folks who say driving deer is safer than driving a car have a good point. You've convinced me that deer driving can be safer than I believed when I started this thread. But I also think it's pretty clear that driving is the most dangerous way to hunt game. Jim

Shot many driven deer... I'm not keen on doing it with 20 guys, but really, no different than any public hunting. You never really know where everyone is. I like small drives, less to keep track of.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

"Every Ohio deer hunting outfitter I've talked to bans driving as too dangerous."
I think they are pulling your leg. This ain't Africa. They would have to pay somebody to drive for you and insure them. Then they never know what kind of idiot they may book. Never was the best way to target big deer, just deer. IMO.

James, glad to see you come around. Sorry, but I don't know how to post links and I'm not going to do other people's research. I did post one year but I did look at several on the DNR website. Not hard for anyone to look up. Maybe I'll learn how to post links soon. Lol.
No Jab.

Thats a liberal thinking. Ever notice if a conservative doesnt like candy bars he doesnt eat candy bars. But if a liberal doesnt like candy bars he thinks NOBODY should eat them. True story !

I'm envious of you men who know ten or twenty other guys you can trust with your life.
I don't. My brief experience with deer drives ended with the shot after the shot one guy almost put into a driver. The gunner killed a deer with his second shot, and was more concerned with admiring his trophy than the man he almost killed, who was freaking out.
I didn't hunt with them again, and my view of drives has been colored by that experience.

yeah,you were a lawyer James,it may not really be an accident after all just one of them hardened criminals you put away.so i guess my point is that deer driving is probably way more dangerous to lawyers than most other hunters.
