According to the main geocaching.com page, People have done caches in:

or perhaps you meant countryside. If so, then its already being discussed over HERE if you wish to see what the replies have been.

 

In a nutshell, its because cities by definition have a higher population density.

Rural caches may get fewer Geohunter hits...but I'll bet they have a higher rate of animal tampering. icon_razz.gif


 

Depends on what kind of animals you have in the area. Where you place the cache and whats in the cache.

 

For example here in Sicily the larges wild animal we have on the island is fox. Place a rock on the cache and its going to get disturbed. Australia has big animals however the enviroment tends to keep them for disturbing caches if I'm understanding the posts that I'm reading from Australians. If your in the states however the animals seem to be a little more misbehaved. It seems you have to be careful not just about putting food in caches or even putting things that smell like food in caches. But, anyhting that has a scent of any kind can attract an animal in the states. icon_frown.gif

 

You just need to know the area you are going to place or hunt a cache in and take the proper precautions.

Born and raised in suburban hell, I tend to place caches out as far into the woods as NJ permits me to. I may not get as many visits as the easy, drive up caches, but I think people will enjoy getting away from it all when they seek mine. I rarely go after "urban" caches, rather I stick to ones that require a good hike and are as far away from towns as possible.

Actually, for the last two caches I hid, I added (in bold red print) "No food or or scented items, please! They tend to attract animals." Both of the caches are fairly new, so I haven't had a chance to see how respectful the local coons and such will be.
