RE: swamp, hardwoods, or feilds
I mostly hunt hardwood ridge line, gulleys and swamps. I am mostly a ground pounder so I need to play the wind. Depending on the fickle nature of our winds I must be constantly aware of the current situation. Most of my big fellas are swamp dwellers so I post up in some real gnarly crap with very little shooting possibilities. I use their natural cover to conceal myself and don't try to alter their home in any manner. This practice does not allow for many shots but that's why those big critters live there. There is no more exciting time than hearing the plodding splashes, rustling reeds as they progress down their hidden trail towards your post. EXCITEMENT PERSONIFIED!
