I went with my wife and grandson today to a spot down the hollow from where she was raised. Her uncle lived there and was an avid ginseng hunter... he passed away nearly 15 yrs ago and I've got a feeling there is a large patch of seng somewhere in that hollow....
its a beautiful hollow but dang its steep in there!
I dug a few plants and left a lot of little ones.. didnt find any patches but its was a lot of territory to cover.
Here is a pic of a nice 3 prong, Theres more where he came from!
