๐Ÿค  This Will Be My 57th Season of Hunting the Same Areas that My Dad first Carried Me into..when I was only 2 yrs old in 1965
I'm Not Studied up on all the New Sience that is Available in Our Age of Online..
I Just "Love the Hunt" and I Still Find Morels Almost every time I go, sometimes a few Sometimes a lot.. it is very Exciting to find a bunch like 50, 100 or 300..
But I believe we will all agree ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ’ฏ
It's the "Love of the Hunt" and just being in the woods is Always Our Heart โค
๐Ÿค  I hope this year as we all find Our way on down the trail together on Here..
That we will make time to take some Pictures of Cool, interesting things we see along the Way,
Maybe like a beautiful sunrise as you begin your hunt in the morning.. then pics of Morels Growing...
and when you find yourself looking face to face with a perfect Example for a ๐ŸŒณ Tree Identification ๐ŸŒณ please take some pictures and share them with All of us...
๐ŸŒฒ and just as well if you find a Tree you are Not Sure of ..share some good pics of it and we can All help to identify what it is.๐ŸŒฒ
๐Ÿ„ Also when Our Morels are done, STAY IN THE WOODS..We will Continue finding Many Other types of Edible Fungi ๐Ÿ„ all Summer and Fall into Winter ....
Ok โค Thank You Everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š
Let's get on down thru the Woods together and check in here often as You Can..
See ya soon
from Wade ๐Ÿค 
Love the Hunt

You need to open a restaurant
I did for many years but left the industry after I quite drinkingโ€ฆ A change of scenery was needed, someday maybe Iโ€™ll get back in there but Iโ€™m much happier where Iโ€™m at nowโ€ฆ

I was about to say the only thing that meal is missing is a bunch of weed and beer.

Suppose to a heck of a rain fall coming
It's gonna slow me down on my outside projects
or maybe not, it often breaks up and goes around me..
I have know idea if we are ahead or behind on rain..but seems like a good thing if it Rains at least once or twice a week from here on in..

Southern Indiana and Illinois are finding early spots Now, but in the next warm up it will be the flush of blacks so.. keep a close watch at all the morel sites.. also go back and look at past years there..I'll still be finishing Treehugger or I would go down with you..
So HECK Yes Man...get a plan and get down there.. it will be exciting for us All to follow along on here..as you Report in during your Road trip ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
๐Ÿ„Love The Hunt๐Ÿ„
You're really tryin' to get me with those Illinois pics, aren't you? Lol

The hunting lodge I'd be going in Illinois is farther north...around the same latitude as you, between the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. That means I'd probably have to go just as the morels are starting around here (or right before). 1200 acres, probably 900+ with forests, and nice elevations. Looks like some public lands close to the rivers as well.

In Indiana, I'd be going back to where I've found them in the past, then maybe try a couple new spots...there's a lot of different places to hunt down there. Would probably stay near Seymour, North Vernon, or Scottsburg and branch out over a couple days

I had an invitation to go down to the Kentucky/Tennessee border, but I don't think I can make it. Still an outside shot, though.
