Stump I have it both way here. Some areas I hunt the only hunter you may see is at a gas station in town, check station or travelling down a main gravel road. While other areas it is a sea of hunters, farm activity and yet still a couple archery areas I hunt are in acreage property where both cars, people and dogs can be heard and seen during the entire time hunting. While each have their benefit and challenges, I much prefer the remote tranquility of hunting an area where myself and only my hunting party are around. It just seems more relaxing, less worry and REAL. The first time I field dressed a deer with a dog lurking from a near by property wasn't my most prized moment is all I am saying. I love hunting in all aspects and it is relaxing but the distant rumble of the race track(life) doesn't quite give me the same feeling of wood stove heat and nothing but nature sounds filling the air. Unfortunately we must work and for most of us that means in bigger centres where the remoteness and time are ill afforded..but if I had to choose I would say give me a home where the Buffalo roam and so on...off in nature!

As too how would those who only hunt remotely do, well I would think it would be a shock but we are for the most part adaptable as humans and progressive...best guess we would do like you, I and others make the best of the opportunity that presents itself!
