Morels

Those out scouting n stump shooting this time of year may look for morels as well. My buddy in Indiana found a dozen blacks yesterday. Seems a few started early.

Wow, that seems really early.
Still have a long time to go here. Lots of snow in the woods.

We've had a warm light snow winter for a change but it was white by me yesterday too

In TX you almost have to be standing there when they poke their heads out. Hogs get em in a flash.

We still have 2 feet of snow on the ground here, but I ran into the rancher down the road from me while checking my rabbit snares and my wife and I got to chatting with him and his wife and she offered to take us mushroom hunting this year to teach us what to look for so we're pretty excited about that. Good luck on your hunt.

I'd like to get into this morel hunting as well.

Just so you all remember what to look for.

We just had the last of last years crop of Morels. I batter them (I use Louisiana fish fry mix), place on a baking tray, freeze overnight uncovered. Then bag them up and back in the freezer. When we want shrooms I pull them out and fry them up and they are as good as the day I picked them.

These can really side track a turkey hunt!

ksbowman · March 20, 2020, 10:03:07 PM

Especially when they are big enough to trip over!

People have been posting on Missouri Morel hunter for a week with finds.

These threads have always got an exception to the rules....

AND , more importantly they remind me of the late Dean Torges, the original morrells annual thread starter.. What a guy and what a talent.

God's speed Dean

The pic was not from this year.

ksbowman · March 22, 2020, 12:25:25 AM

Oh, Burly I didn't mean my pics. were from this year. They were from years past. I don't usually find any till after the first of April (turkey season).

dnovo · March 22, 2020, 11:13:38 AM

I got sidetracked quite a bit last year turkey hunting. Started finding these. I figured these are lots easier than turkeys and don't run near as fast.

Wudstix · March 22, 2020, 12:09:08 PM

Thanks, Terry. There is plenty of talk about turkey hunting and many bow pics, as well. It all part of the journey.
