I'm no fan of corn fields once they get head high. They messup my glasses, you got pollen and corn borers all over yah, it's sticking hot, you can't hear as well in tall corn and you walk twice as far because they are always planted the wrong direction. Corn fields suck.

If its corn that doesn't have weeds, and isn't blown down, its the easiest thing to walk in I have, when I'm going with the rows. Wear long sleeve shirts, and hold your arms up so the leaves hit your forearms and you can walk as fast as your legs let you.

Going across the rows is a little tougher but with a technique thats a little like swimming, you can get right across.

Some people don't like it but it's my favorite place to hunt. I've had coon run right past me, watched them go up trees right in front of me. I just stand on the outside and let the fun begin. Good place for a pup to get some tracking skills.

I know a guy who claims that one year he planted about an acre of sweet corn in the middle of a 160 acre cornfield to try to hide the sweet corn from the coons and the coons ran through the field corn to his sweet corn and wiped it out before they touched the field corn. Don't know if that's true or if he lied to me, but I do know that coons love sweet corn and will eat it if they have a choice.

Corn can give a young dog fitts. I use to have an old dog that would run in, stur them up , then come out to the edge and find a track comming out and tree it.
My question to all is why do you walk in the corn fields. Here there is not trees in the fields and are only planted in quarter or half sections. I just let the dogs bring it out to a tree and walk around the field to it.
I have 3 young dogs in differant stages of training. It should be a hoot this year. Can't wait

corn fields are by far the best way to start pups we never turn loose in the middle ALWAYS up the edge



Again this is one of those things that depends on where you are.

Back where I am from it wasn't unusual to have extremely long cornfield races because there wasn't much corn and coon would come from a very long ways to use it. I ain't talking about "trailing" I'm talking about burn it up pullin hair have the coon come by with the dogs right behind it races that last for 30 minutes or an hour. The corn around there is full of Johnson grass merigolds and other things making it like a jungle so as long as the coon stayed in the corn he had the advantage. Many times though if he hit the woods or another type field he was a caught coon.

It was common enough to have a long race that when we were runnin corn we would bring lawn chairs.

Yes, 100% sure they were coons, and these were very, very fast track dogs. It's just how the coons did there in the corn. It was either a short quick race or a long race, not much in between. I can't count the coons we seen after a very long race panting up in the tree like the dogs.

Love the corn cause it was the only time in that area you could consistantly get a strike within hearin of where you turned loose AND there were plenty of coon with some pop ups too. Like someone else said, plenty of opportunity for your dog to hold pressure while others SCREAM one right by it LOL.
