Robster.........I should have mentioned that I was born and brought up in Mass. I'm sure it was very similar hunting to what you're doing. I learned to still hunt in those Mass woods. I've never had to change my way of hunting when I came west.
I just look for similar terrain, and do my thing. I just pass up long shots. Some guys wouldn't think of passing up any shots. I find it easy. It's a different mindset, but seems natural after awhile.
