I’ve been a dedicated handgun hunter here in PA for the last 30+ years. We usually do drives during the second week. I’ve taken several deer over the years. I’ve used 44 magnum revolvers and for the last few years, a TC Contender in 7-30 Waters.
Not all of us do. Generally they do it to keep position during the drive. But, we have learned the escape routes and where the deer traditionally WANT to go. So we slowly, silently push the deer where they want to go, and post standers covering those and, generally, they are just walking as they come to the drivers
I’m in Northeastern Pa., been driving deer for 51 seasons and we never yell. We walk towards the standers …..yelling like that is stupid and a pure rookie move imho…not needed at all..
Are you in northern or western Pa? Im from eastern Pa, between Harrisburg and Allentown. We had no snow to speak of,youre lucky.
We’re in central PA. Good luck this season

So how big is the deer farm you are on?
28.6 million acres 👍
@@gandtoutdoors5 there is no farm in the usa that large. do you even know what you are talking about
We don’t hunt deer farms. But, the entire state of Pennsylvania is 28.6 million acres 😉
Then you go out hunting to KILL something dork you only harvest on a farm.
I’ll remember that, good luck this season.
Why do PA hunters yell when they're putting on a push? We just still hunt towards the posters in an effort to slowly move the deer.
The main reason is to know where the other drivers are. It’s easy for one person to get ahead of everyone else on big drives.
Helps to ensure the drivers stay on line, especially when going through thick stuff or when you loose sight of the other guy.
