Default do you prefer a field or the woods

What is your favorite environment to hunt deer in? My is a toss up between a standing cornfield and a swamp bottom -

Early season I tend to stay on the edges, but as the season goes on, I keep moving deeper.

I like hunting on the edge of the woods, maybe 15 yrds in, overlooking a bean or corn field. That is if the woods are at least 30 acres or so. Late in the season though, I usually gotta go deeper into the bottoms.

Sept 15th thru the first week of Oct I hunt field edges and where fingers enter fields and try for deer Ive been glassing. After that I move to staging areas until acorns start hitting the ground, then I hunt Oak flats and Oaks at creek bottoms, then its rut time which I never know what Im doing until when I get there lol.

I LOVE edges. Deer are attracted to edges. I spend most of my time on this one. It's a HUGE thicket where it meets the woods.
