I always like to hunt in the woods. Many years of hunting experience has taught methat you wont have much luck sitting in your livingroom.
Its impossible to say exactly where a big buck will walk by. You just have to be patient and learn from your mistakes. I would suggest hunting around a thick area, but its not like you can just sit by any patch of thorn bushes and have a monster walk by, you have to patern the deer and know their characteristics.
