Hey Bags, how has your year gone? Have not seen any posts.

Bags nice to know things are good. I agree on the walking around hills in 80 + heat. Takes all the fun out of it. Had several friends said NE . Iowa sucked this year. I figured you were a good judge of that. I should be in Minn. now but its been a long season and its going to be mid 80's up there. Long,long, drive, big hills, most likely done for the year. Bags my season was OK, nothing like last year's haul. I picked in southern Kan. about April 19th and ended up by Sioux City about a month later. Had a lot of fun, picked a lot of morels, in a lot of different places. Picked nothing in almost as many. Did the best in parts of Mo. and Iowa. Never had a day over # 20 and ended up with # 60. Like you said there were many places where the elms just were not hitting, some areas like the season skipped. congrats on the turkeys, must have some good land up there. Maybe next season will be better and I'll travel your direction.

bags, best we could figure was not enough heat at the same time as the moisture. Never really found a spot where all the trees were loaded like last year. I could have worked a little harder at it to. Morels like the wet but without a few really warm days and nights to get them flushing things tend to end up spotty. I know folks sure did a ton better in SE. Iowa than up your way. Keep an eye out on the boards next spring when April rolls around, I'm hoping to get a lot farther south next year.
