I like to hunt the edges of the fields at daylight and let the dogs trail the hogs to their bedroom. This is a good game plan. Been having some decent luck these past two weeks with this same strategy. Using just one dog just before daylight. Only problem is if the corn has water in it. They will lay up right there and never leave.Title: Re: Post by: justincorbell on July 02, 2016, 12:05:18 am Yep, alot different....ya get into a bind in a corn field, the only thing ya can climb to get away is your buddy
