Well My wife & 2 friends have found over 450 mushrooms the last 2 days around the St Louis area

269 here, with a nice bonus 5 point shed. It was eaten a little on every tine tip, but still pretty good.

I was over at forbes this past weekend. LOTS of ticks.

The best we could find were some longstems. I think I will go again tomorrow afternoon and saturday after turkey hunting.

Picked up some Repel Sportmans Max(40 percent deet) and some GoReady maxideet(98 percent deet) from wally world today. So if you see a guy wearing a silo hat in a lil mitsubishi holler out.

Did all you guys & gals notice those politically correct mushroom bag, my wife & her friends were using in those pics ???
Got to let those spoors fall out, for seed. ;)

Heck, they even have to have different colored bags to keep them separated from each other. :D



Huntz... South
You were a long ways from home them.

Use a netted bag in the woods, ALWAYS !

Spread the spoors. :)

When you get back to your truck or the house, you can put them in a sack, tub, bag, ect.... ;)

We found 13 grey & yellow up here behind our house last night.

Gretchen told us to use a mesh bag last year when we were hunting oysters. I think I got ours in the camping section. It was either a dunk bag or laundry bag I think. We've had the bag for a few years but just started using it for shrooms last year.

When I get to the next dollar gen., or if I see one at ww I'll make sure to pick one up just to support the cause though........:D
