Default Hunting for those Huns

New hunter here on the hunt for some huns.Been walking the edges of fields down in the 108 area,no luck.My dog is starting to get frustrated and bored,as is his owner. Went out for some geese on opening day,poor setup but still manage to bag 3.Anyways and experienced hun hunters give a guy some tips?Much appreciated.

Smile Road hunting

We drive around until we see some, park and then let the dog do her thing. It usually works well.

Default Crops up

If there are crops in the field , whether up or down ..They will hunker down in the swath ....It is tough ...densa is probably right ...I like ditches on gravel better than some field spots .Anther week or so will be good...W101
