Well put Crokit!
I've held more respect for terrain the last few years and will pick out my spots on a topo like the next guy (saddles, benches, ect..). However, the swamps are still my favorite places as the greens tend to be alive longer, along with a nice ridge above to tantelize any type of deer seems to be a good mix...
Not much farm land to key off of for food sources, so meandering through the forrest and munching as they go along is hard to pattern. The longer you hunt a piece of land the more history you build. Using late fall and winter for scouting with snow helps to reinvent where the deer "disappear".
AND Yes, this is hunting!
