where to hunt.

If you had a to choosebetween 500 acres of mixed crp, farm ground and swampor 80 acres of hardwood forest to hunt what would you choose and why (deer population being equal). I mostly bow hunt but love to bust out the smokepole also.

RE: where to hunt.

farm ground b/c the deer will have bigger racks due to more protein from the food they are eating

Objection, Your Honor! Speculation. We have no idea of the gentics of said farmland giants, or hunting pressure, or age structure.

I'm going w/ more ground. More ground = more options. Swampland on said ground? Oh yeah, I'm there. Mixed CRP, farmland, swamp and woodland? Man alive, how much better habitat could there be??
