I grew up like db did where the younger men pushed the deer to the seasoned hunters. The thing that made this a different time is no one in our party used a scope, so when you are pushing shelter belts which back then could be a whole quarter of a section long, large areas of bush again a quarter of section, pushing out coules or CRP. So being able to shoot a deer at 200+ yds was always a normal rather then a rarity back then. No one said a thing back then it was just excepted that was the way it goes. Today with everything we used to push out as a kid is posted, most farmers who ripped out all those shelters belts and tilled up those fields have made whats left posted to the average person. Another thing believe it our not less people are hunting in big parties because not everyone in your party can get a tag all at the same time. Most in my unit of 2d actually hunt the way they hunt deer in Minnesota and that is to put tree stands or hunting shacks in areas we know where deer have traveled for years. Also deer that have been pushed from one spot, shot at and then pushed out of another spot and repeated process tend to have gamier meat. So no party hunting is not needed with the advantages of todays hunters have over those who hunted at a time where shooting a trophy was not a luxury.</blockquote>
