Aimless wandering guided by reading the land finds game better than planned logic

Evidence

One way to hunt partridge is to make a plan, based on logic and probabilities, of the terrain to be hunted. This will take you over the ground where the birds ought to be. … Another way is to wander, quite aimlessly, from one red lantern to another. This will likely take you where the birds actually are. The lanterns are blackberry leaves, red in October sun. — Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, 224
