RE: Big Woods versus Farm Country
There will be more/bigger deer in farm country, just because they will always have something to eat, and they know it will be there year round. With big woods, there will be deer, but they have to go search around for food and water.
FYI, I'm hunting in the big woods in northern Wisconsin this year too, and the wolves up there are another huge factor. They have been taking a big hit on deer populations up there.
