I've seen quite a few corns in Alabama.Almost always road hunting though.Late April through May is the best time.Right at dusk to about a hour or so after dark usually,when temps are around 75-80F.On certain roads at the right time of year in the right conditions I've found as many as 5 in one night(not counting the DORs).I've never personally found one field collecting,but I was hunting with someone when they found one inside a rolled up piece of carpet.I found a gravid female once crossing the road at 3pm,in late May just after a shower,only one I've seen out in the open in the daytime.I still see alot of them,but here around Birmingham it is getting alot harder to see them alive anymore,way too many DORs.Each new home that gets built puts about 2 more cars on the road,and they just built 500 just down the road from my best corn hunting road.
