100%, all 6, have been shot in a field.  The first was in a small log landing.  My son's was also in a field.  I hunt woods and fields, so just happened that way.

90+% in the fields.  Heck, in most of the places I hunt, if a bird in the "woods" walks 20 yards in any direction, he's right back in a field.  :D

Mostly I hunt fields but I love to take them in the woods when I get a chance fields are just where I have to hunt

Very open terrain here in western OK, so I'd say 99% field/pasture......one or two came in the woods (if you can call it that)

Same here... something about a gobbler with hens out in a field and not moving a inch gets to me. So I try to stay in the woods where i cant see as far.

about 50/50 I would guess. I rather have them in the woods or small fields.

I only have 1 field bird.  The others are woods birds.  My future hunts will probably all be big woods birds too.  So 12% fields and 88% woods for me.  ;D

I've shot at least 10 on the edges of fields.  Most were called "out" of the woods.

I can remember two in particular that I shot in the woods.  One was a triple bearded bird (my best ever) and one in the woods last spring.
