TOPIC: Illinois OPERNER..

Congrats guys to you Chieftain another good dig I am glad tha you got to go and dig the past couple of days seeing it is so close to falling thats good.

Lenno glad you are digging good congrats bro.

was going to try and get out today ,but its looking like rain..I may go anyway...

managed 21 oz.today.... ..in this woods the roots are the round bulb type.....

Chief, those are nice roots, they say the bulby roots are high quality. I went back today in those other hollers and dug 39.6 oz. Two more hollers to check out...hope they are good too.

Billy, thanks, its been pretty good so far.

Lenno

way to go Len, I couldn't sleep knowing there were TWO more hollers to check..

Len I couldn't stand it..after I made that last post I looked at radar ,rain moving in..I lacked about 300 yards of having that woods looked when I left this afternoon..I decided to go back and finish it cause I didn't want to lose sleep tonight;) ..glad I did,,dug another 17 oz. and the biggest root that I found in that woods today.... ....rained on me and I got wet but it was worth it alot of those plants would have been gone by morning... ..this one weighed 2 oz.

Good deal Chief, Looks like you must be getting a pretty good pile:) Going back in that same spot early in the morning.

good luck in the morning..

Wel well well that old Chief is doing a war dance and Len has joined in I love it guys dig it I am so happy that you guys are doing well I was concerned when you had wrote about the dryness and hurt to the plants it is great that you are able to do well inspite of a short season CoNgRaTs to both

Billy.

Best I remember - last year when Chief said he was about done - he dug another 2-3 pounds...

Looks like he is repeating that this year

Last time I looked this thread over I missed that near 5 oz root pic - WOW.

Never seen anything close to that here. I think around 2 oz is the best I ever found.

Way to go Chief !

Hope you just keep finding more.

I looked a nice hollow over here this morning and found not one single top still up.
