RE: which do you prefer- woods or field hunting?
I'm in farm country, so I have little choice in the matter. If I'm "in the woods" it means a field is nearby almost anywhere.
That said, I'm all about edge cover. The edge is where I'll harvest the most of my bucks during archery. I'll move into the deeper woods during gun season, as the bucks will move a bit more in the heavier cover with the increased pressure.
