prefer woods or fields

[7wsm]

i have about half and half. i have a food plot between the two about 50yrds wide and 200 yrds long.with a shooting house on the edge of the field. the woods is about 20 acres and a little bit of everything in it .

About the same here. With the acorns starting to drop I like the woods this time of year. Anywhere with a good mast crop is the spot, low visability sure but they are in there.

The rifle shooting nut in me likes wide open fields with a steady rest to shoot from. But there is definitly something missing with all field hunting. About half the time I like actually being in the woods near some oak trees.

I like woods always have . But I will hunt the edges where I could shoot on the field edge. BC during the rut fields will have a bucknon them sooner or later

When mast is falling...nothing better than the woods......

field? whats a field? all we have are woods lol definitely rather be in the woods less idiots screwing me up walking in on me!

Right now I'm set up on the edge of a field where it meets the woods surrounded by white oaks that are dropping. Its a natural funnel with a bluff on one side. It worked for me Saturday. Hope it works again.

Honestly, wherever the deer are.

This time of year - Trails to fields in the evenings woods in the morning. In about 2 weeks - woods.

No choice for me, as all my property is wooded.

it takes more precision to pick a spot through the brush than to a huge target like a deer at 350 yards in an open field. After sniping squirrels out the ancients oaks in full foliage all august, sept and Oct., shooting a deer in a field seems ridiculously easy. i prefer thick woods

Hardwoods.Edge of field while using a decoy at times.

woods! Only thing I like about fields is seeing deer in them when I drive by fields in the evening. But the deer in the fields came from somewhere else.... the woods. And there are better trails to set up on in the woods. I may hunt fields more often for turkey, but even then I still prefer woods.

 

[redblood]

yep, prefer it for squirrels as well

 

[Snake]

According to what type of property I'm hunting .I like to hunt fields during muzzleload or rifle but only if it has ample woods or woodline surrounding the fields .

 

[Mayheminc.]

Private land- I like to hunt woods but will hunt fields off and on until crops come out.

Public land- I always hunt the woods. Too many people walk up on you in the fields.

 

[PcDeer]

Like hunting deep in the hardwoods this time of year or on back side of funnel in woods leading into food plot...

This^^^ I do have a power line on my property. I have 2 stands on it. It is nice for ML/rifle season.

Fields

I rarely hunt field edges. Mostly woods. That being said, I plan to hunt some this year in the evening.
