Please tell me the difference from a feeder with 50lbs of corn and a 200 or more acre corn field? I'm not saying that no one is hunting over feeders just that there is no difference in the two.


nothing wrong with feeders. there pretty good to start a pup off of. i've been casted with feeders in comp. not every drop was a feeder but i could tell when we did. dog would try to load up on tree like a layup and guides feeder dog would just hit and go. i dont care if folks hunt off them in a nite hunt either. dogs still got to tree the coon and from what i seen it just mostly gives hot tracks. never treed where the buckets where hanging. i was just poking fun about the scores. they only get that high anywhere when there's only one or two dogs in a cast. the leopard dog that scored so high here recently had feeders but hunted mostly against only one other dog when he scored over a thousand. patches gave a good example of the difference but the dog still has to take the track and tree it unless the coons are so diabetic that they can't run.

Maybe Im missing something here but seems to me there would be more coons in a corn field than on a feeder. I sometimes put a camra out to see what is coming to my feeders and only get 1 or 2 coons a night on a feeder where as if you shine a corn field you will see more than that.

point being a 200 acre corn field has more coons but a dog has to hunt it out to find a coon track. a feeder dog knows where the feeder is and usually goes straight to the feeder to find the track. like i said the dog still has to be able to track and tree either. you could compare the two to deer hutning. one hunter hunts over a salt lick and the other don't. which hunter knows exactly where the deer are feeding everyday. one is hunting naturally and the other is controlled to a degree by baiting. what's the point of a pup training pen.
