ginseng diggers, step in

[yetti462]

How's your digging going? Any price reports?

Pretty slim this year!!! I always take mine to Deaks Fur, paying 165 green 520 dry.

I had a pretty good year. We went out a few times and have a little over a 1lb and a half dried. A week ago I called Bakers Camp and they were at $515. I've had the most luck waiting until December to sell.

Anyone else have any luck this year? I had almost 1/2 pound dry that I sold at $850 per pound.

 

[yetti462]

Had 1.06 lbs.

 

[sugarcreekbrass]

We didn't get out as much this year. Have a little over a half pound. I like the sound of $850/lb!

Had an appalachian outlaws episode at my house this fall. Guy walked right down the road in front of my house at 10am on a Saturday morning. In my neck of woods its an odd sighting so my kids holler for me to check out the "dude."

I slipped out and peeped down the road, i own both sides of road and figured if I didn't see him walking down the road then he was on me. Sure enough he was gone, so the hunt was on.

I located him and he decided to run. He learned he couldn't outrun a person in their "back yard". He was cornered in a ravine with a slate rock wall and a tree top. Marched him out of the woods and he kept talking, he gave me a false name and based on the stories he was telling I was able to learn his real name (long story) but he is my cousin's cousin from the other side.

All he got was a ticket for digging. without consent.

It's a shame he was able to walk out. Should be perfectly legal to beat their ass as they make their way off of your property. Whether then can actually get out or not should only depend on how long it takes to get off of your property or your conscience.

Oh, wait. He's kinfolk. Maybe not appropriate. (only because his kin prolly knows where he's a goin')

If he's kin (or related to kin) and they know where he is going then they need put on that ass kickin list as well.

Only thing worse than a thief is a thief that is related.

 

[yetti462]

He's no relation to me. He did stop and ask permission 3 yrs ago and was denied. Figured he'd be back and sure enough he was.

 

[EOD Guy]

I ran into a guy digging up ginseng in my back woods about 3 months ago. He did not like the way he was told to leave.

I looked around my property for the first time this year but had no luck. I think my area isn’t a mature growth forest enough for ginseng.

I get mushroom hunters every once in a while trespassing but I just them know they are on private property.

Ok, this time of year what am I looking for above ground? I know spots were we have seen leaves & berries during the summer.

 

[Jin]

I’m barely able to find them in the fall when the berries are out, I can’t imagine having to look during the winter.

nothing above ground at this time.

Nice to know the prices are still high. Can't wait to try it next year.

Neighbors put seeds on my cameras to let me know they are stealing. It's a bad feeling, but I can't police everything. It's not exactly on the top of the local constabulary's list of things they are interested in.
