That has to be the worst case of sour grapes that I have ever heard.Many of us live and hunt in farming communities where most of the terrain consists of crops.Where do you expect us to hunt if not along fields?Many of usdo not bait andmany do not even use treestands,we simply hunt the terrain that is present.You chose where you live just as we do so acceptthe fact that your hunting conditions are not the same as oursrather than trying to downgradeother hunters success.
i'm in the same situation. on about the 400 + acres i have to hunt in ky at least 390 or it is open fields. and guess what that little bit of woods is right on the border of other property where everyone else hunts. so i have not choice but to hunt fields and fencerows. even if i do get into the woods i can still see fields. that's how small my woodlots are. just becuase you hunt fields and fencerows doesn't mean you're guaranteed a deer. i hunted this past weekend and got skunked. not to say that i didn't have opportunities but you have to hunt a different way than in the big woods.
