Obviously - I wouldn't put much stock in authors that haven't hunted much in Northern New England.
THIS does not mean that they are not any good, as I enjoy the style and examples of say Bill Winke.
My take is soley this, I don't "crop" hunt because it's not really available in my area.

There are certainly great authors / hunters all over the USA and beyond, but this is a personal question in this post.

So here you go...
So for my region NH / ME / VT - I have had a "connection" with the styles of the Benoits and Hal Blood (not as well known).
