For me, nothing beats waiting on a cutline north of lac la biche. There are no limits to the size of the next buck that steps out in front of me. Parkland is good if you have enough guys to do some pushes on some small patches of brush. Big deer in all three areas though.

I too prefer the boreal/ stand hunts as the forrest holds less deer but great quality.

Ditto on that. Expanding Farmland , a hundred years ago, made Whitetails what they are. Not too much Alfalfa or grain, in the mountains or Boreal forest.

I would say if you're hunting in a place where you're shooting at 200 class deer....you're probably in the right zone......
