I am a bow newbie and I have been doing a lot of training with some experienced guys and reading everything here.

All the "spots" I have found or been told to hunt are very tight. I'm hunting in CT and MASS and hunting areas with deer trails but there is no shot outside of 30 yards even possible.

In almost all of the hunts I just watched the guys are hunting right on the edge of fields or fairly wide open areas.

This seems pretty strange to me since no of the areas I have found are even similiar. Actually these real tree spots seem much harder to hunt even though you can see father.

So I was wondering, why are they hunting in the open?
