Terrain wouldn't be so much of a big deal if folks gave some thought and planning to the way they hunt in various places.
Let me use this as an example. A man has a puppy and takes it to the woods a few times, chunks it out with a bunch of other pups and crummy dogs, the pup won't quit playing, wont go hunt and when it starts to leave it CSS running back soon.
Other man gets the pup, takes it to woods, finds fresh hog sign, puts the pup out in it and while the pup is full of energy, lets it go explore what those fun smells are.
The second guy will more than likely have seen that pup make a dog whereas the first fella was probably creating a help dog.
Take the same "type" of thought process and apply it to talented dogs and you have a successful hunter in diverse terrains.
Some people wouldn't be able to kill more than a hog or two in a year if they had to do it without a dog (like gun or bow hunting) these folks are the type to not give any thought to how and why they hunt the way they do.
Other folks are hunters. And they hunt with dogs too.
Make any sence? Y'all know what I mean?
I agree with this. It amazes me how many out there, both young and old, have absolutely no 'hunting" skills. By this, I mean looking at a piece of country and being able to have a pretty good idea about where game is going to be laid up, traveling, or feeding. As for quitting, I'd rather feed my quitters than cowards
