Summary:

"Methodology is presented for conducting drive-line counts to obtain absolute numbers of deer within fairly small (~ 5 6 h0a) areas. Planning and layout of the drive and the organization of persons who make up the drive-line teams are discussed. Procedures for maintaining proper spacing and alignment of drivers are described. On a drive of a 5.7- km2 estate enclosed by a 2.5-m-tall deer fence in northwest Pennsylvania, numbers of deer (78) were within one of an estimate derived from a standard deer pellet-group count. The key elements of a successful drive are organization and communication before and during the drive."
