ok i may be an idiot but what is it your talking about?ive never heard of such a thing but im interested to know.

rutnstrut2, wish I could help, but I have no method. They just sort of show up where I'm looking. I still think it's a little early to be looking though.

That is what I am talking about right there I think I might go next weekend on my grandads land take my turkey gun just in case I get some fish or birds!

It is just a great way to get out in the woods and have some fun and find somethings to eat and the last ones I ate they tasted like wallie

Go look right after a rain. I like to find areas that were once fields but have since grown into cedar trees and what not. Find alot around mayapples too for some reason. I havent seen any up yet but it should be soon. Dry land fish are about the best eating thing in the woods IMO.
