For those of you wondering I hunted Calhoun county, we were just off the illinois river and the county just under pike. As a matter of fact from the top of a tall ridge you could see the river.

Jachunter. The ratio of woods to field is all relative to where you hunt in La. I hunt just north of Baton rouge and we have lots of woods but I have also hunted in places with lots of fields around here and not seen deer like I did up there. Because its so thick around here you are right its hard to see deer but there is no mistaking the amoount of sign I saw alond with the deer that only a few deer did not make all that.

I would recommend that anyone who gets a chance to hunt the midwest take the trip. well worth it!
