I say HARD. I love it when it all comes together and all the hard work pays off. But i will never turn down EASY either.

I have shot some bucks, where i have worked my butt off, and others where i just walked in,climbed in the stand, and before my butt could hit the sit here he comes, hunt over.

Both are good, HARD is little bit more rewarding but not by much. Plus some easy hunts were because of all the hard work i did in stand placement and so on.
