SAFE DRIVING TIPSSAFE DRIVING TIPS Plan your drive - Each member of a drive should understand their role. Be sure drive members know where they are supposed to be, and that they stay there, especially standers. Communicate - All members of the drive another to ensure that all members know where - As with any hunt through the line of drivers. - If a shot seems split-second decision-making, don't shoot. It's injury to other members of the drive. Take turns that limit the taking of game to those designated as standers. Have drivers and standers switch places so everyone gets a turn. Be easy to see - Wear more than the required minimum 250 square inches of blaze orange. The game won't care more if they can see you coming. Slow down - Move slowly and speak to your other drivers. You want game to move away from you at a relaxed pace. That minimizes shots on running animals. TEAMING UPTEAMING UP D one another so all are aware of each every member of the drive will know 34 S S D D D D S that way, rinse and repeat as they say, through a day's hunting and everyone gets a turn to be a shooter without endangering others. COMMUNICA COMMUNICATETE Emphasize communication between drivers. Drivers typically should be only 20 to 40 yards apart and visible to each other. Even then, though, since game animals like thick cover, drivers often end up out of each other's view. So drivers should speak to each other - you want game to know you're coming, after all - as a means of keeping track of one another even when seeing each other isn't possible. STSTAY IN LINE IN LINE Drivers should move slowly and try to remain in a straight line so that no one gets too far out front.
