Getting waaaaayyy off the road isn't always necessary. If you're hunting "pretty" places, you're hunting low percentage places most of the time. It takes hunting big trails in thick areas. I don't hunt it, but work with a guy that does, religiously. I couldn't hunt the way he does, sitting in a tree that barely holds him up and can't see further than 40 yards at most. Not fun to me, but he kills several deer a year, and normally a good one or two.
You are correct. Big trails in THICK areas is a big key out there I think.
