Found 120 or so the other day with a buddy. Here in Southern OH the morrels are smaller "dog peckers" or "blacks". In KS where I am from we always found big whites around the first of May. Here in OH they start finding them much earlier. My dad siad he started finding a few the end of last week in KS
Just as it was there, there are only a few "patches" here and there, and everyone keeps them a secret.
The guy that showed me this place made me wear a blind fold all the way there. LOL
They are one of the best things to eat anywhere. Anyone who has not tried one has missed out on half their life.
