I got to thinking tonight while in stand about where others choose to hunt. Myself, I always hunt woods. I've just never been a field sitter. Mornings and evenings both find me in wooded terrain. So what about you guys?

I hunt a clover field in the evenings sometimes in early or late season. But when Im hunting the rut time, Im going to be in the woods or edges every time.

Due to the lack of woods I have to hunt, I am always in sight of or on the edge of a field unless I hunt one small property. Would much rather have a track of woods to hunt.

I do both, depending on the time of season and wether crops are out.

I've got one property that has beans and corn, and I set up over the standing corn end one night this year for the first time ever (I usually stay up the hill in the woods there). One small buck walked the field edge then went down a wooded finger that bisected the corn. That was my only time of ever hunting over a crop field. I don't have any food plots either.

Many field edges. Love the corners where woods and fields meet. After the gun opener and the pressure is on. I head to a place I call "The Jungle".

Probably somewhat more woods than fields, but certainly taken deer from both.

Considering a bow hunt a lot, I like to to be in the woods, whether its a small piece of woods that funnel the deer down a path right to me, or just in a big piece of timber. I hate seeing deer 300 yards out in a field and not being able to do anything about it! It gets pretty frustrating. But if you can find a hot field during gun season you will be in real good shape!

Woods. But it's all about location. Cornfield directly south and east is bean field. Creek runs north to south on west end of property. Most of the deer I've harvested (3 total killed in four years) and seen have been within 50 yards of the creek.

Never stepped foot in the woods at all this year. Hunted the fields around all the scrapes. Stay out of the woods till shotgun, then back out for muzzleloader and bow.

On one property my deepest "woods" stand is between 110 and 180 yards from a field depending on what direction I go. My newest stand is about 60 yards east and west from a field, but has a finger woods running beside the neighbors cow pasture. The little drainage stream that runs through that woods, past this stand, and to my deep stand has accounted for all the deer activity so far this year.

I have no access to fields, only woods.

I've always been in the woods, but tonight I'm going to hunt the standing corn. The farmer only made a couple passes next to the woods. So hopefully I'll stick one tonight.
