When i hunt with my cousin on the west side we strictly hunt clear cuts, go from clear cut to clear cut and just sit on them for awhile and glass. Except mine last year was standing on the side of the road we were walking out on eating blackberries and I dropped him in the middle of the road 1/2 mile from the truck, couldnt of happend any better. My cousin shot his half way down a steep clear cut, that wasnt fun. We had 3 bears down opening day last year before 11am on the same hill side.
