In Georgia and South Carolina,and perhaps other places, hunt clubs use dogs to drive the deer to the standers. It is usual for standers to be placed about 500 yards apart and the firearm is a shotgun with buck shot.
When there are shots and the dogs hint that there is a kill, the standers are picked up. At the end of the day, the deer are butchered and a drawing is done for the meat. All that wish some, are in for the draw.
Very safe and a great social occasion.
Best,
