It is not a slam dunk, but depending on the property yes it is worth it. You must be careful to be on private land only after the pheasant opener around November 5th. Public land gets pounded everywhere I've been, including the most secluded properties. Dogs running everywhere. Last week of October & very early November is the time to go. If you have access to private land that will not be bird hunted during November you are good to go.
