Jeff, I just spent the weekend with "rockchuker" as my guest at the lease, hunting pigs. He and his buddy Dave, both killed nice ones and we had a good time in general. I was a really interesting for them to detail how deer were hunted in the mid-west. He explained that agricultural fields(corn, soybean and alfalfa) dominated most of their areas of Missouri and Illinois with some areas of sparse hardwoods (compared to ours). I believe they now appreciate that it's a little easier to hunt game when you can see it. Lots of these guys don't truly understand what it's like to hunt a 60,000 square MILE area where you can't see more than 50' unless your on a road, pipeline or highline. It must be nice to walk down a ditch between two fields and have deer run everywhere, or watch a clump of trees and see deer.
