RE: Rut hunting: Field Edges or Timber ?
I like to hunt pinch points/funnels between known doe bedding areas, if that puts me on a fields edge so be it, or if it's in a thin tree row, that'll work too.

Why ?
I will say that if sightings drop dramatically indicating lock down, it is time to get out into the open and set up in a small ditch, fence row, draw etc.

RE: Rut hunting: Field Edges or Timber ?
I hunt a little clearing in the back corner of the woods during the rut. I set up about 25 yards off the property line as there is a thicket right across the fence. The does are thick in there and they like to bed in there after a night in the fields. During the rut, this is the ticket. The Bucks swarm this area looking for does and does that are being chased usually run in there.
