When the drivers have advanced to the line of the watchers,that drive is over. Some camps plan and make as high as sixor eight drives in a day. This procedure will be repeated, dayafter day, until the hunt is over for the season.

Drives made by archers are the same in organization andtechnique as has just been described. The main difference isthat the bowhunt drivers will advance more cautiously andwithout noise; they do not want to frighten the game; their

purpose is to get the deer alerted and on the move. Theywant to keep the herd on the sneak rather than on the run.The drivers are spaced closer together because they must bewithin bow range of sulking deer.
