But, I sometimes feel like the good bucks are all dead by then. Clearly this cant be true. Is there a type of terrain a novice should try first? Pine woods, clear cuts, cedar swamp/forest, marsh? Something that has the best chances of staying on or locating big tracks late season is what Im wondering.
BTW, thanks for doing this thread. This REALLY helps!!!
Time of year? Whenever there is snow!
Type of Terrain. I would pick rolling hills with 75 yd visibility. That would be about perfect. But they travel a long way so the terrain where you locate a track will most likely change by the time you catch up to them. Its fun in the thick swamps. Its like jump shooting rabbits. The worst type is wide open areas. They can see you and be gone way before you see them.
