I'm new to bow hunting and there isn't a lot of people in my entire county that hunt with a bow. In fact, only 45 deer were killed with a bow in my county (Tripp County, South Dakota) in 2005. Most of the county is wide open with very few trees, so I know I will have to spot and stalk most of the time. The property that do have tree belts usually have owners that don't allow deer hunting. The vast majority of land owners don't want anyone on their property unless you are hunting pheasants and have a thick wallet. Calls and rattling down seem to work here very well either. Once in a while I hear about someone calling in a deer but not very often. I don't see too many camo patterns designed for open terrain. What open terrian patterns have you guys found to work the best?

Iam also pondering the choice of a fall away restvs. a WB. I'd like togo with a fall away, but don't knowif it would hold up to the abuse of spot and stalk.The area I hunt is steap and rocky with flat grass and crop last surrounding it.Most of the deer come in from the flat area's to bed down. There is no trails that they use so a stalk is needed once you see them bed down. There is a good chance I will slip and possibly fall at some point. Is a fall away a good idea or not in my case. Can some of thefallaways really contain the arrow completely with not much of a chance to fall out? I was thinking about gettinga MZE or QAD ultra. I like the MZE but it looks like it may break if I slip and fall. What do you guys think I should go with?
