I'm not exactly sure what the laws are in VA but I'm just curious who would be buying any root legally right now. In my understanding your not supposed to be able to legally buy roots until the diggin season opens which is confusing in its self because I dont know how a person could dig, dry and sell roots all in the same day. And also here in Indiana its not legal to hold root over from a previous year. That all just doesnt sound like its on the up and up which is sad because its vital to follow the laws and regulations that are in place to ensure that there will always be ginseng in the forests to hunt. Thats just my take on the matter.
