Hey Whitjr

Thxs everyone for the compliments

Great looking seng hobbler...

Your seng and Maya's look very similar. Lots of Big LONG roots.

I've noticed that also NY n vt are very alike in habitat. Lots of dark rocky dirt where shang loves to grow big.

Got out for a couple hrs this morning now off to work

If u weren't so far away I'd have ya come dig some with me a lot up this yr again. I hope u get some land to hunt soon.

Got a short walk in this morning found a few

Dang Hobbler,
You must have such a nice wild habitat for wild ginseng to find that many nice roots on a \"short walk\". I wish I lived up that way. lol

This spot has more sang to dig. I don't like being there long its close to a rd so I go in takes bout ten mins to get to shang dig for a hr then get out. Afraid someone mite poach it on me. Its a great place I give 5 cord of wood to have permission to dig it. Works out great for me

Hobbler,
That's an awesome trade. Glad there are still great spots like that out there in the wild. Between losing habitat and there being a lot of seng hunters in Ohio, I rarely find seng spots like I did back in the 70's when I first started hunting. I am sure there are some tucked away spots somewhere but I haven't found them.
Any large tracts of land with old growth forest are typically called State Parks in Ohio. lol Some actually do have some wild seng growing in them. I have seen a few here and there. Nothing large tho just small 3 prongs. Makes me believe there are poachers hitting the state parks too.
I figure if I can't find much seng anymore then I will just grow it from seed.
