TOPIC: great first season

great first season 10 years 1 month ago #32630

Hello, everybody! This season was my first hunting ginseng. Spent a lot of time scouting before season and was starting to lose hope until I found my first plant less than a week before Sept 1st, and it was a four prong! I have some pictures y'all would probably enjoy. Season is long gone here. Hope everyone else's went well.

Edit: think I figured it out...hope it works this time.

Nice find bg. Just make sure you don't get ginseng fever because there's no cure as far as I know. Symptoms include insomnia, itching, and forgetfulness. Like forgetting to check the weather before you head out to hunt...:silly:

You don't really have the fever fully set in though until your walking through the house, garage, a store etc... and see the shadowy shape of a fan of leaves from a ginseng plant in the corner of your vision. Then you know you have the fever full on. Great pics! I often snatch those turtles up for a trip home with me while hunting for the grand kids to check out before releasing back to the woods. They got to have at least 6-7 releases this year. They always love those turtles coming home for the few hours I let them be entertained before releasing again.

Haha I was that way when I started mushroom hunting, saw em everywhere. I use to bring box turtles home with me when I was a young'n and release back where I found them once my.mother discovered them. I've since found out they are a threatened species. Surprisingly so, they are everywhere where I ginseng hunt.

Nice seng... congrats on a good start.

GMCPaul.. ever time I hunt for a few hours... and after home and showered and doing something else the rest of the day... I see glimpses of seng tops when I blink my eyes, or look a different direction. I have seen it on light fixtures, the refrigerator, etc.

I think I have the fever bad and that has been happening for a long long time... since around 1976. Don't think there is a cure :-)

Yep no doubt about it text book classic symptoms you've got the seng-fever.
Sadly though it clears up in late October in most cases. But thankfully its something you don't seem to lose reoccurring yearly as it does.:) :)
