I always hunt with small groups and we hunt 40 to 80 acre patches all the time. First thing is walk against the rows so the birds don't see you as easy, and try to be quiet. Second try and weave back and forth through the field and push it to a corner, preferably into the corner that the wind is blowing from. Stop every 20 to 30 yards and wait for a few seconds, this makes the birds get nervous and they may flush or freeze up and quit running giving you a chance at a shot over point or a close flusher. Have at least one blocker in the corner of the field that is standing a ways off of the field and make sure that the blocker stays low and still to help avoid detection from the running birds. As soon as you get the field pushed to the corner, send another blocker to the other end and push it back a different way, still weaving and stopping as you go. Alot of thimes if the birds run around your group they will freeze up and hold since you didn't pursue them when they escaped the first time, it gives them a false sense of security. Walk as slow as you can also, this isn't a race to get to the other end of the field. Good Luck, I know that these tips help my group and I'm sure that they will help your group as well.Would love to hear some tricks for small party to hunt cut (plowed) grain fields when the birds are feeding. I know some people do it successfully but I don't know the secret.
kio and kb are these cut corn fields we are talking about or standing corn if its cut how do the birds not see you
You guys are talking about fields that only the combine has gone through, not that has been disced or bush-hogged right?
