John would never make a drive up wind. A deer wants torun up wind to smell out danger and avoid it, but they willnot run down wind far if they can avoid it. Deer driven up
wind smell the posters and run out the sides of the drive orbreak back through the drivers rather than face the hiddendanger. A cross wind drive needs a stiff barrier such as a lakeshore or a wide river to keep them from running out the up-wind side. Lacking the barrier, the up-wind side has to becovered by the posters as well as possible.
John always drove quietly with us, though he made no spe-cial effort for silence. His intention, I believe, was to nudgethe deer gently toward the posters. A deer might saunter downwind away from that human who smelled so strongly of cig-arettes and who did not seem to be tracking him or trying todrive him.
