Of course terrain change, changes everything (hills, ridges, creeks etc.) Just thought I would share.

This is very good advice that I learned when I first started hunting from my father , trapping mentor, and another very experienced still hunter.
All three explained that the game trails follow the transition borders of spruce and poplar for example.
Even in deep woods you can find game trails by studying Arial photos and topo maps, we used this method when cutting trails into remote lakes on our fly in trapline.
