RE: Big Woods versus Farm Country
In my humble opionion farm is good for bowhunting and the big woods for gun. Deer seek the added cover during the firearm season from my experience.
However if you want to get a monster try using (one or two other people) driving thehedgrows and small patches of cover found on farm land, it may just produce the "big one". More than once it has, and its the reason why a big buck is stuck on our wall at home.
