this is for the TWRA guys on here.
I would like to know if you can start digging on the 15th (which is tomorrow) or do we have to wait until Sept 1st to start digging? I am totally confused over this hand book stuff.
I know last year it was on the 15th we could start digging it and then when i got dry we sold it in September.
Can so one please help make this more understandable?

Page 18 of the Hunting Guide in the lower left corner in red it tells you that the law was changed effective July 1, 2012 and that the harvest season for wild ginseng is Sept. 1-Dec. 31.
It IS NOT open tomorrow.
