The 3 small blacks I found yesterday were in the hills just across the Ohio River in Jefferson county. I could see the Indiana hills from where I was hunting!

Man that I'm sure is a Beautiful View, I've seen as Similar View as you describe, but from over in Western Kentucky looking towards Evansville..
I Always think of Indians and the First Pioneers and try to get even just a little feel of What it was then.🤠

Comparing this year's weather to last year's season, I'm expecting to make my first finds around the first week of April in Charlestown. Hopefully, a week or more earlier than last year. Then I'll head North to Morgan and Monroe County. Went to Charlestown state park today, trees are certainly blooming earlier but ground temps are still cold and the 10 day forecast won't get it there... here's two pics marking the beginning and ending of the season in Charlestown 2022

Cool pictures, and I like your plann I don't know if ..I will Hunt Charlestown this year, because I'm still busy to finish up my "Treehugger"..
But when you get up here to Morgan Monroe, you may already know it's where Myself and many of us Hunt..So let us know when you are here and Perhaps we can Hunt some Together.

Mushroom hunters are a niche group, most people don’t like the ones sold in grocery stores let alone ones found in the woods that could kill you… Even up north when I hunt around rivers where people are fishing for salmon/trout no one bothers to get morels as well… I’ve seen them growing on the fishing trail by the river and watched fishermen walk right past them and worse step on them… Which makes me wonder each season how many billion in the usa alone never get picked…🤔

So true! Also, mushroom eaters seem to occupy another niche. I'm on a golf webforum and on the Food & Drink page someone started a thread titled something like "Why are mushrooms considered food?" I had to get involved in that one, and I guess a bunch of others picked up on it and we beat the non shroomers down!

As for here, I'm beginning to have doubts about any kind of an earlier season. We seem to be deep in the heart of "second winter". It's gotten cold and is predicted to stay that way for awhile. So, it's basically just back to normal.

That Weather and Season Prediction, Sounds About Right, and I'm not surprised.. seems to me that the last few years had us all looking thinking it could be Early.. but I was not..
Instead the main Flushing came at a Usual Time
