I wholeheartedly agree with two of the things Grant mentions in Part 5 (bottlenecks): 1) the Midwest (or any large commercial agriculture area) is full of easy to identify bottlenecks, and that's why harvesting older to mature bucks in agricultural areas is so much easier than in big woods environments; and 2) identifying and even creating bottlenecks in rugged big woods environments is very difficult, but both can be the real key to success in that environment.

Yep, in Wayne county where we hunt every spot is dense cover....yet there are in discreet bottlenecks that sometimes take years to discover whether they are productive or just another terrain feature they avoid for some unknown reason. When you look at features out there it gets much easier because they cant hide every 60 feet. Good topic!
