Big woods Hunting is definately more rewarding IMO. Especially when your tracking a deer in the snow or just plain still hunting.Chasing a Hog buck followinghistrack for miles and sometimes having to come back to the point you left off at the next morning cause you ran out of daylight beforegetting at shot onhim. Now thats hunting.I love the Bigwoods and have lots of respect forthe hunters that do it. Especially the bow hunters.A lot of work for success. I would love to shoot a farmland buck as well but it would have to be a still hunt. Dont see any challenge in dumping something from 500yds plus. Besides being a good shot,IMO it requires no skill. Just my 2 cents.

I've hunted both, but the past 25 years has been pretty much dedicated to the big woods hunting that the High Peaks Primitive areas- no motor vehicles.- of the Adirondacks offers. I hold out for a 120" class or nada, which results in more than a few years of skunksville. I have to agree with several posters that it is VERY rewarding one vs one, taking a trophy buck in primitive wilderness.
