Here is an online article complete with a black & white photo archive of how a Traditional Southern Hunting Club still follows the age-old traditions of Deep South Deer Hunting. Hauntingly old and refreshingly new, the images of horses, hounds, shotguns and neckties show how it was ... and still is. http://gardenandgun.com/article/call-hunt http://gardenandgun.com/content/middleton-hunting-club

Interesting post. Brings back memories of my visits to hunting clubs. I was at River Bend Hunting Club near Epps on the Tombigbee River when we heard that Bear Bryant had died. They had dog drives on Saturdays and stalk/still hunted during the week. I counted 22 does that went past my stand on the dog drive that morning. Only members were allowed to kill does at that time. It was as much of a social event as it was hunting. Not my preference, but nice to visit from time to time. I saw more deer that morning than I had seen all my life back home on the Warrior River.

Indeed, such are memories that transcend and link generations... "Thus has it been since the long-ago beginning of deer hunting in these ancient woods and the Middleton Hunting Club members are dedicated to keeping these traditions alive." http://sclowcountryoutdoors.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-years-day-driven-hunt.html

Excellent article on the history of the deer drive from colonial times: Art Of The DriveAuthor: Doug Howlett "Today's modern deer drive has its roots in the deer dogging tradition of Colonial America, a tradition that lives on in the 21st century." http://www.cabelas.com/product/Art-Of-The-Drive/532217.uts

Y'all need to read some of Archibald Rutledges writings. He hunted at the turn of the 20th century, it feels weird saying that, on a plantation in South Carolina. His writings are great and he killed a slew of bucks with an old double barrel. I have found many if his books on line.

I grew up hunting at Spidle Lake H. C. in Belmont AL, we were a shotgun only, deer drives on Saturdays club for years. I miss those days of seeing 50-60 deer in a day of hunting the Tombigbee River swamp.Clubs like that are a thing of the past and people that have never experienced that type of hunting truly missed out, I wish my kids would have the chance to go on a deer drive like I grew up doing.

I grew up hunting the Tombigbee river bottoms in the late 70's dog drives were great. I'm with you DB miss hearing those hounds run. You should show up with some dogs this weekend and see if we can't piss somebody off
