22, woodline, near cornfield & creek or water. Moonlit nights you don't even need a light. If there's a good many **** in your area, you'll notice them in trees come November.

But what's the point? You go **** huntin to listen to your dogs not to kill ****. If you get on a forum, you'll find local **** hunters in your area. Look in newspapers or stop in hunting shops or feed stores where **** hunters buy dog food. You'll figure out who the **** hunters are. I once got one of the best blk & tans I ever had from a guy that had got the dog in an estate sale. He gave me the dog cause he didn't want to feed it. Second day I hunted dog, got 8 **** and not all in the same tree (**** family). I really miss **** huntin up here in Alaska.

In arkansas, dogs are required. I dont know where you are at, but you may look into that as well. I'm thinking about trapping them off of my corn feeder..... They are thick. As fat as they are, they ought to bring a premium.

If they have been hitting your corn feeder for several weeks they would be dang good eating. ;)While I still lived in Oklahoma the farmers in the fall would appreciate me with my dogs coming to their corn fields. The **** loved the corn on the cob and I loved the corn fed *****. :eek: Same with corn fields in western Washington in the 60's. Bear would get into the farmers corn fields and just tear them up. My dogs would either bay them up or tree them. Farmers always made sure we had lots of corn.:D
