That still looks Awesome Matt! I was out Saturday evening and found about 30 Lobsters and they were all past prime...........was so bummed frown I even set alarms on my phone for next year for a 3 week period telling myself to get my butt in the woods.

Question on Hens.........are they on a certain side of the tree? They don't actually grow on the tree right?

It would be great to see some of you guys cook them up and post pictures with receipts. I'm still kind of hanging with just Morel's because I don't trust my knowledge of the rest out there! eek

Found ischnoderma resinosum this weekend. Michael Kuo's 100 edible mushrooms has been a good guide (so far). The boys and I thought it was pretty tasty. BTW does anyone have a shorter nickname (common name) for this mushroom. I tell people the kind of mushroom we found this weekend and they instantly call me a dork.

They can be on any side of the tree, all the way around it, down the root line, etc... We check the peremiter of all possible trees when we go, in about a 5 foot radius. My best luck has been around clusters, where 2-3 oaks are growing RIGHT niext to each other, or around the obvious giants. 1857 year old oaks. wink

"Benzoin mushroom" or "benzoin bracket". How was it?

It was good, a little chewy (I cut off the outer edges to eat on the larger ones, a little nutty with a medium (not real strong) flavor. I like oysters, morels and hedghogs (my favorite) the most. But if the good lord lets us find "Izzy" then thats what we are going to eat. The boys and I are having fun with it. Catch fish, hunt birds and gather mushrooms.

Thank you sir. Will see about getting out to our hunting land on a Hen hunt this week/weekend I think.

I've been a little hush-hush recently about my finds...like many of you all, I've been having amazing luck out there this year. My best year ever, by a loooong shot.

And like some of you, I also had one of my best days ever today. Brought home about 125 kings, six hens, a few dozen chants, a few dozen hedgies, and left about that many little kings in the woods, waiting for a return raid. I've never found *anything* like that density of kings before. The photo here is about 1/3 to 1/2 of today's take.

Yeah, I've definitely been holding back. See, most (all?) of y'all on here have adult responsibilities, real jobs, children, spouses, honey-do lists, money, and people who love you. I have none of these things, but I do have time, a trusty Pontiac Grand Prix, and a comfortable pair of sandals.

I figured I'd just make you guys jealous if I came on here every week and said, "Yeah, I spent the last three days driving/paddling around northern Minnesota and found [insert large number] of delicious edibles." smile

Holy carp Stick!!

I've had zero time to shroom the last couple of weeks. I've been too busy preparing for my trip to New Mexico. We'll be there during the rainy season so I'm thinking we have a shot at finding some kings in the mountains down there to go with our elk tenderloins. laugh

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
