TOPIC: Just a helpful hint before the upcoming season

I've just been sitting here with huntin on the mind and thought about a little tip my papaw shared with me once and thought it might help some of you guys out. Where i live in east ky a lot of the old timers lived in the mtns back in the old days. And most of them kept a patch in their back yard. If you ever run up on one of these old home places take a look around. I know i have fount seng like this not a lot but it is worth the extra time looking around.

I have a lot of vergin woods and i have a creek
that is full of 5 leaves and do the ginseng vine
or is it just a plant? i live in south missouri..
any help on advice would help me out...

It sound like you are looking at Virgina Creeper.

this will be my first time to dig ginseng.work got slow so im looking for something fun to do.i have found a lot so far.im not diging yet ,just looking . there is a lot of cool things in the woods.

Would you please tell me more story in the frest?

I agree with bowhog. It sounds like Virginia creeper. If you follow the stem down into the ground, Virginia creeper will be connected to a vine that runs to the next plant. You can usually pull it up a bit and see the vine. It also looks \"woody\" toward the bottom, like a tree sprout. Here is a photo with VC and sang in the photo, You can see the difference. The first time I was looking for sang, I found creeper and thought I was rich...sigh.

Yaaaa, one more month before my fingers start to bleed!!!

Hey BowHog,,,cool pics,,,yea, lots of cool stuff in the woods,,,I got into a huge flock of butterflies,,,was really neat!!!
