Hey Billy,
Loved the video man. This is Justin from up in Letcher County. I've talked with you a few times on the phone. I just got to where I've learned this site well enough to post some pics and make a few replies. I posted one today. Had a couple of pics on it. The big four prong in the top pic with the green berries was from an earlier scouting trip, however it has succumbed to the digger since season started.

Thanks everyone for the comments it is a good season indeed a lot of big ole tops have came up this year in my parts due to the heavy amounts of rain that we had early they just popped up everywhere and I love it.

Here is a photo that I have been wanting to get to and show you all, This is the oldest root that I have saw in some time came in swinging at 63 years old and healthy as can be a double 3 prong top unbelievable what a amazing plant.

Billy.

Boy that's a beauty. Them old plants sure are tough. You gotta be tough to live in East Kentucky. Nothing comes easy on the side of these mountains except blisters and stinging nettle

billy you are the man! if kentucky roots are that big ,I'm moving there!

Guys I wanted to share this Monster root with you that my good friend Merle Hensley dug 3 days ago.

It is really nice weighing over 7 1/2 ounces and had 2 monster 4 prong tops.

On the scales

Billy

That's got to be one of the coolest roots ever posted here Billy! Looks like you guys are off to another great season down there.

I see your back at it....digging them big ole monster roots and having a great time doing it. Thanks for sharing and keep it coming.

brother Billy how you been?been awhile since we talked..hope you and all your loving family are doing well..
