What's the morel of your story, Poggins?

[bowtarist]

NICE FIND Pog! where you located?  Think its a little early here, but feeling the pull to the woods. Im sure the pros are finding a few blacks now. dp

[Badly Bent]

Too early here for morels but man that picture makes me want some bad now Poggins.

I gues the morel of this story JW is that everyone is crying its too dry for them to come up , dry but not too dry . I'm in central Oklahoma , halfway between Oklahoma City and Tulsa .

Went to another of my places this evening and found 220+ , some were small but there were some nice ones also , found them in some old dozer piles that had been burnt a couple of years ago , there are some big cottonwoods that died after they burned .
Had to keep a close eye out for the morels because the landowners cows were on my heals , I had to set my sack down to get in some of the logs to pick mushrooms and had to watch the cows close .

[Poggins]

I usually start finding a few the second or third week in March , cold temps and no good rains have put them off a couple of weeks .
Last year I was picking every day after work , not that many out this year yet .
Just hope the flowers keep blooming for my honey bees , I'm already getting calls wanting to know when I will have honey , I tell them should be mid June if conditions are right .

Get out the skillet and butter...Nice haul!!!!

[Poggins]

Thanks , got off work at 4:30 pm drove about 32 miles and picked till dark ( almost three hours ), greenbriers had grown thick in some of the old piles .

Hey Bub - I really like smaller Kings & Silvers done on a charcoal grill too ! Bob

[bubby]

yep they are Bob, but grilling them gives them that smokiness too

My front yard is on a slope. I left a few small trees when I moved in 12 years ago, put a tractor trailer full of Bermuda grass sod down and had a beautiful yard. Fast forward 12 years, the trees grew to be huge, shade killed the Bermuda grass and parts of my yard have washed away down to the bed of chirt below the topsoil. Time for most of the trees to go and reestablish the topsoil and grass.

I spent from 10:30 in the morning until I plum gave out at 4:30 in the afternoon behind a chain saw.  I cut down two of the large trees (one more to go) and turned them into firewood(anybody need any wood for free) and hauled off the tops to my burn pile, it was along day.

I will probably spend as much time looking for someone to give some prime red oak fire wood to as I did cutting it, no one burns wood anymore.

I spent yesterday afternoon working on a bow with Mr Black Coyote. It felt good to back in the shop, its been a few weeks. I spent the evening sprucing up an old 14' Sea Nymph gramps gave me. Got the trailer and a 9.9 Evinrude as well, one pull every time!

Eric - I could use a truck load or 2 and I live about 10-15 minutes from you.
