TOPIC: Fall, Spring, and Winter hunting/fishing

This is what you call a Tennessee baby gold nugget. Hey, this ain't California, lol, but California don't have Ginseng either.

Nice gold!..always wanted to try gold panning.

Thanks datwood!, It is a fun hobby. You sure won't get rich doin it, but there's nothing like seeing that gold pop up in your sluice box or pan. Everything I've learned about gold prospecting, and I'm not ashamed to say this, has been from watching youtube videos. If you live near a gold bearing creek or river give it a try. Just remember to dig Deep the gold will be lying along the clay layer or bedrock.

turned my little dog out this morning..she ran a circle in the yard and come treed hard in my peach tree..we got the peach eating intruder...

Looks like he messed with the wrong peach tree. Well, just about 2 more weeks the woods are callin my name. Should be prime this year. We've had good rainfall and humidity now I just gotta find the seng and battle those hills...

seasons getting close,iam going to scout a woods this afternoon....I hope...

Good luck to you this season chief! I took a little day trip over the mountain to Cherokee North Carolina couple days ago. Man, my mouth was watering looking at all those lush hollars and ridges, lol. Of course you can't hunt seng there being national park, but was fun to think about. Can't wait to get out and roam the woods in a week or so.

i scouted another woods a couple days ago...I know one thing..the seng ive seen has few to no berries on the plants...don't know if this was caused by the late spring we had or not.....

Chief...

Last year I had a good crop of berries on my seed bed plants, and my wild sim.

This year, my wild sim has some berries.... but most of my seed bed plants (big old seng) have few to none.

We had a good growing season here... up thru end of July, but then it got very hot and very dry for weeks... right when seng berries are starting to make.

I am not sure exactly what accounts for the shortage of berries on my seed bed this year, but it is as low as I have ever seen it.

TN,iam not sure what happened here but I scouted a woods about a week ago,looked at probably 100 plants and seen a total of maybe 20 seeds.the bigger plants didn't have any seeds on them..
