Friends, do you ever find a better age class in areas that are not real wide open and glassable? I have had several biologists mention that when discussing two different units with respect to vulnerability of animals in one area versus another. In my experience I've seen that this phenomenon exists. However, it has to be somewhat of a middle ground. Too heavily timbered and deer are just really hard to see and may have food limitations making them pretty scarce.
What I find is that some areas are more walk and glass type places rather than picking just one high vantage point and staying because it's smallish glassable pockets within a larger timbered landscape that are close enough to hit 2-5 in a morning or evening. Obviously you have to be real careful anytime you're moving not to be spooking all nearby game.
Practically speaking I prefer relativity open terrain like many people. This opens up some opportunity with timbered areas where people can't employ long range glassing and let their Swaros find the game while the guy is sitting on a pad drinking coffee, drapped in a quilt.
Thoughts? Maybe Robby will weigh in as he often does on the deer forum. Robby, I hope you have fun today with your boy!
