When do you start in the spring? whats out there now in Pa? I need to get out and look, the group at Blue Spruce doesn't start meeting untill next month. I need something to do.

I've been out for the last couple of days just wandering the woods. Some of the first mushrooms are up, but none of the edibles yet.

Morels are always turkey season for me

 

[Fr.Mike Brecht]

When you hunt Morels do you where orange in case somebody( you know those gun happy guys) mistakes you for a really 'BIG' turkey??

 

[Guest3]

I never wear orange morel hunting unless I am turkey hunting at the same time, lol- BUT, it is a good idea to do that.

kind of funny how PAGC worries only about Hunters...soon to change I bet...lol....they will want us to get permits to hunt 'rooms

You have to have permits to collect insects on game lands, so you may have a point, lol

What do you mean Gal? I grab a bug once in a while to see what is hatching. I don't take them home and put them in alcohol or anything. I just catch them and let them go or maybe they might get a little squished in the process.

I do take them home and put them in alcohol- but just the auatics to document what is in a stream. I have a scientific collectors permit from Fish and Boat for most waterways in the Commonwealth, and I have a special permit from DCNR to collect on their land. Just learned I need one from game to collect on game lands, tho I have never collected on a game land.

Collections are considered 50 or more insects in possession, at least by fish and boat standards, and you need a fishing license to collect up to 50. Just a heads up.
