Tnhunter that is correct Aug 15th
I am starting to think it will be the same this season,but they where supposed to change it and they may still change it,I hope they decide soon.
Something that was also brought up was that they may charge dealers for the license in Ky this season but still no final decision has been posted on that,they do not have much time now,so we shoulf no soon.

I checked the State of TN website and still see no changes there in our Harvest Season Laws.. still August 15 - Dececember 31.
The buy/sell season runs from Aug 15 - March 30.
Where you said August 1 on your previous post I think you meant to say August 15.
I do agree that Sept 1 would be better for TN. We always find a mix of red and green berries the first couple weeks, then in Sept most are red.

Notes on Tennessee Ginseng Harvest Season Laws
The wild ginseng Harvest Season is from August 15th to December 31st of each year. It is unlawful to dig wild ginseng for the purpose of sale or export on any date not within the ginseng Harvest Season.
No permits are required to dig wild or cultivated ginseng, but one MUST have the landowner's permission to enter the property and dig wild or cultivated ginseng. Ginseng collectors may dig wild ginseng on their own land.
It is unlawful to dig, for the purpose of sale or export, any wild ginseng plant that has green berries or that has less than three (3) prongs. A \"prong\" means a ginseng leaf with three (3) to five (5) leaflets.
It is unlawful to dig wild ginseng for the purpose of sale or export, and remove the berries of the wild ginseng from the approximate location from which the wild ginseng was dug, and to fail IMMEDIATELY after such digging to plant the berries of the wild ginseng in the approximate location from which the wild ginseng was dug.
