Those are pretty! I’m going to listen for birds early in the morning and then hit a quick patch or two before the Easter festivities.
The adult Easter egg hunt went alright today.
That a pretty aggressive sized pheasant back there. I alw as ys thought tbey got tougher than toenails that big
Nice finds Chass...pheasant backs are pretty good. Sauted up with the morels and a little onion....mmm mmm. Good shit! Going to make some time this week and hit the woods pretty heavy. With rain and warm temps this week... should have plenty up later week. Good huntn to everyone.
Yeah, just on the belt. Full seated.
I wasn't going to take the larger pheasant but it was still extremely soft and tender, same as the smaller. Sauted just in butter, not my favorite but if you scrape the tops off, bread em in a seasoned cornmeal breading then fry in butter.
That's where I am. Seems to be dependent on elevation down here. I've found a few handfuls in the last month in gallia.
I'm in meigs county and the three I found were Damn near the highest elevation around my house. No moisture around, none of the go to dying trees to indicate a good spot. These damn things are finicky man haha.
The patch I found was the highest elevation...didn’t find anything anywhere else.
My main area I believe is about 650-900ft and I've found most of em in the bottoms. It's like shed hunting, you can check all the spots that look the best but they just seem to find you. I still think it's a tad early in my woods, still not very green. Go down the road a few miles and it's super green and may apples up everywhere.
With this warm weather comming should really get good by weekend, then after next weekend going to hit mid 80s... around 1st of may or so should have the big ass golds and hopefuly lots of them. They seem to b a week to week and half behind most seasons. But i really believe that all of ohio will b loaded in week or so. Bet there will be pics on here of big ass piles of morels
I hope you are right! A friend of ours found a onion sack full of dog peckers yesterday. Also highland county
Took a short hike at AEP since the turkeys were quiet at the farm. Well worth the drive.
