Not only does it ruin it for the rest of the hunters in that entire area, but is also dangerous. During opening day in WI, my GF and I got to our spot around 5am. Around 7am, a group of 20+ decided to do a deer drive from west to east. Saw plenty of deer coming our way, but also heard plenty of bullets striking tree branches around us. It sounded like everyone in that group had semi-auto rifles shooting at running deer. We simply just ducked down low until the drive was over. Didn't even bother attempting to shoot any of the deer that ran pass us.
This group was doing deer drives all day through out the area and pretty much cleaned the entire area. Several other hunters in that area were very angry. Why is deer drive even allowed to begin with anyway? I should ask the DNR. I'm sorry to offend anyone, but only weak hunters (if even one) think a deer drive is a good thing. I'm primary a bow hunter and takes quite a bit of skills. The DNR might as well allow fish drives too. Set a fishing net across the river and drive the fish into the net. Same thing..
Personally, I don't think this is even hunting anymore.
