I also hunt what you call big woods,no open fields or open areas of any kind,just a few little woods roads.they are colsed to traffic so they are almost grown over.
most of the birds I find are in the swamps and along the sloughs.I have a bicycle I ride the old roads where I can to get a mile ot two back into the remote areas.
every one else hunts the first 1/4 to 1/2 mile off the main road.
I usually take my limit each year.
it is hard to scout that far back(you don't want to go that far without a gun and be able to hunt)
most of the time you don't have a lot of company that far back.<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
