[captfire]

went this morning found 22 here in barren county.

Haven't found the first one this year in Rowan county. Usually don't until turkey season. You all have just gotten me fired up to look early.

Found 5 small greys today is it.

Checked on a couple of patches on my farm that I haven’t checked this season. Picked 4 in one patch and they were all mature, 1 didn’t survive the trip in the shroom bag. Picked 6 more in Jefferson on my way home.

Found 24 today. Checked another spot but they weren’t up. Made a good mess for supper.

 

[Recurve78]

Checked on a different area in Jefferson today where there are 2 patches that have been very dependable over the past few years. Had my knife in hand as I approached the best patch because I knew I’d be picking. Just had to disappointedly stick my knife back in my pocket. Nothing and the woods didn’t look ready there.

 

[Recurve78]

Picked another 16 very fresh blacks in Jefferson and 9 others in Hart that were showing some deterioration either from age or the freezing temps last week. I did find my 1st set of twins of the season.

Still nothing here but that's to be expected. Haven't even seen a pheasant's back yet. I have a pretty good feeling about next week though.

They should rename pheasant’s-back to shits-like-goose.

Also found this bottle while shrooming today. Googled it and found that it is circa 1890.

 

[Recurve78]

I think my black patches in Hart are just about finished. The cap of this one was hard and crusty like it had been dehydrated. The only one I found today.

 

[mudhole crossing]

I went for a hour today. Nothing. Suppose to get real warm this coming week. Think I’ll hold off til Wednesday or Thursday.

 

[Luther's Feist]

I also checked several of my early patches and nothing yet. I done found several by this time last year, but that was also the earliest I ever found any. We supposed to get rain tonight and tomorrow so I'm hoping they be up in a few days here

 

[bigpuddin43]

This rain and nice warm weather next week; it’s gonna get good quick!
