Woodland is the way forward mate, at the risk of repeating myself many times....lol.....woodland was my domain when hawking, often venturing out in conditions that would leave most staying at home.....I became obsessed with any woodland/forestry I could gain access to.....
I worked with a guy who hawked as well & we would compare results on a Monday morning, he hunted pretty much open land mostly, he would listen almost disbelieving, as I told him what I'd been up to, in the weather he chose to stay at home in.....
