So I posted last season asking about a look alike. This year my grandfather and I are at it again. I have been snooping the forums trying everything. I have been looking up for all the right trees, and down for all the right indicators. Found areas with tons of maidens hair, black cohosh, blood root, may apple, poplar trees, maple, sassafras, large black walnuts, deep dark hollows facing the north east. What I haven't found yet? Ginseng! Even found those plants with the doll eye berries. The elevation I have been searching ranges between 600-1100 feet.
Anyone out there from Pa, maybe even central Pa? Not a lot of hunters in the area, I'm sure it's around though. Eric Burkhart lives in the area and I know that dude finds it haha. Anyway if you guys could offer any advice about ginseng in Pa i would be thankful.
