The sound of picking these sounded so satisfying in this video for some reason😂 nice haul. Our spot produced about 250 this year

[@Matt-33]

Damn dude, you hit the motherlode... 2 sheds and a big ol' bag of yellows. Almost as good as taggin' a longbeard!

[@olenajohnson9980]

I usually pick far gone and toss them as far as I can or put them in paper bag and bring to promising spots. In my experience, it takes couple years for them to show up, but at least half of them started producing. And you can do it to pretty much with any wild mushrooms😊

[@auntchar101]

Congrats Catman. About 30 yrs ago my brother and I weren't 100 yds from the car on a farm in West central WI. I went to check out a tree, he went to another. I filled a paper grocery bag of giant yellows from that one tree. He called me up the hill. When I got up there he said, Watch your step, they're everywhere. And they were. We filled 5 grocery bags, all we had. Went back to the car, dumped them in the trunk and continued. We came upon another spot where there were at least 100 and they were all toast. Found another 2 giant trees close to each other, filled all 5 bags again, but the last tree was thick picker bushes with nettles all around. Mushrooms everywhere under there. We were picking to sell. My hands and arms tingled for 2 days. Nettles don't really bother me anymore. Love your videos. Good Luck Turkey hunting.

Great story!

[@emilasmith4279]

Wow congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉. Totally envious!

[@Death.clownplayz]

The older big ones to me have the best flavor,i would never leave them like that

[@wildturkey8752]

That’s awesome. Congratulations on the honey hole not being all rotted out.

[@paulwylie989]

Jackpot! Thanks for the vid CM.

[@mikeflanery2066]

Nice haul, I wish I was able to get out and look for some been dreaming about finding a mess for last 2 weeks. Stay Safe.

[@ifirefight1]

Good Lawd!! Nice job! I found 140 yellows so far here in middle Georgia this year. Not nearly as large unfortunately. I’m going to check again tomorrow or the next day since we had a bunch of rain, but I’m thinking we are winding down around these parts. Congratulations on the awesome find.

[@yooperrd651]

nice haul! I moved north 30 yrs. ago we find a lot of black morels, but not many yellows here. I sure miss it though..i am in Michigan

[@unclecreepy4324]

it's been a while since I found a honey hole like that at 73 I can't walk as far as I used to for morels.

[@chrismartin5166]

Enjoyed it, as always

[@WillieMakeit]

And the sheds. Omg

[@chrishelton6928]

That's looks like a great supper right there man

You're killing me Catman! Morels don't grow much here around Raleigh. Enjoy your motherlode!

[@deanhornberger5886]

Nice haul Cat !!

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

That was quite the haul brother 😊 We don't have any elms left here in New York State but I do find a few growing under some old apple trees Do you ever find them an old apple tree orchard

[@billymoad]

Always awesome to find shed's anytime of the year 😂

[@monibee1980]

WOWZA.

[@smokeeater8387]

Good Lord that was outstanding brother. I use plastic bags as well, usually one laying around when it’s time to jump in the woods. The only problem with those plastic bags in my situation is most of our property where the morels grow is mixed in with a million blackberry briars. Had my bag get sliced open on a few occasions.👍🇺🇸

[@auntchar101]

May I suggest going to a dollar store and getting a few mesh laundry bags. Happy hunting

[@smokeeater8387]

@@auntchar101 I always say I’m going to do it then put it off, next thing you know I’m at the farm and the mushrooms are up and I’m no where near anything so out comes the darn plastic bag again. I’m gonna do it this year….. I think😂👍🇺🇸

[@user-mb4th8er3n]

Wow, brings back memories of hunting them in NW Missouri, where I grew up. I didn’t care for eating them, but hunting, cleaning, and frying them was fun. I let my brother and my mom eat them all

[@jaybeliever1479]

Jackpot! - So, what's the GPS on that spot? LOL

[@bobgiles2971]

Nice bunch of mushrooms WOW. Haven't found anything yet here in northwest Ohio

[@brians48now]

I used to go hunting these things year after year and never found a single one.

[@WiggysWilderness]

I have only seen one tiny morel this year. Either there's just less in West TN or I just missed them all.

[@bricehale6593]

Thats insane ive never seen it like that

[@EddieT-hq1le]

That's amazing! But man, it kills me to see all of the ones you let go bad. 😫

[@WillieMakeit]

Whats your temps like? Whats your soil temp? Great spot.

[@scott2hott854]

Love it when they make that sound when you pluck em

[@JulysAngel69]

How do you know if they are bad or good to pick? Also, heard people asking how you know what ELM TREE BARK LOOKS LIKE? WHAT KIND OF ELM ? I've never found 1, would be fun to at least once. Are you finding on damp hillsides, or does that matter? Also, any ground plants that might be associated with them? Thanks in advance!

[@pinkystinkey2205]

How are you turkey hunting in TN when the season opens today on the 13th ?

[@zpwagler1826]

I’ve been out 3 times this year and the most I’ve picked was about 10 last week on April 3rd. That was out by gordonsville TN. Is this in middle Tn or more east/west?

[@gtchalie5038]

nice!

[@allendunfee5725]

What the heck man?!?! You need to play the lottery.

[@TerrenceMerry]

I live in west tn and haven't seen any here

What’s the best way to dry them?

[@michaelsears4164]

Show us what you use them for. Great content 👌

[@Tracy-wr7mj]

what elevation? i am around 2000 and dont see any ..but its been raining this week.

[@northeasthunter7658]

At what elevation do you typically find morels?

[@jamesblevins535]

If they was little the last time you went out there they should be really big this time it don't take long for them to grow big like that

[@jimpowers2047]

Holy cow!!!

[@GreenManalichi]

Cat.... Can you show the difference between an elm tree and an oak since no leaves yet ? To me, the bark looks the same

[@Hunter_shull]

Seriously tho. It’s such a pain in the ass trying to find these trees

[@ChasinStuds]

Lol barks are totally different , get a tree book.

[@GreenManalichi]

@@ChasinStuds yea... been thinking about it, but, at the end of the day, not totally sure I care that much

[@BackwardsHatNation]

you do the same thing i do. pinch off the base.

[@CoD_Casey_YT-vn9lc]

Here's something crazy okay, so I have 2 spots I go too right? The first spot would be a public park surrounded by woods the morels there are growed up like crazy I'm talking big one's and then I have second spot the lake that has walking trail and public asses in woods I went there today and found morels but they were all baby's.....I'm not sure if that's just the soil temps not being right? Or what but it caught me off guard lol

[@toddkobylarz4758]

forget the mesh bag. if youre picking young fresh morels, the spore spread is negligible but theres a better reason not to....on a big haul, youll shred your morels up.

[@MEQUPWER]

it to late to get them in PEnnsylvania? i wanted to go tomorrow and this werek a few times, lmk and thx!

[@aaronfulkerson4615]

Shouldn't be. Just started finding yellows recently in Indiana and have found them all the way into early May

[@jaywhite6740]

The mesh bag thing is a meth in my opinion I have never found morels on the paths I have taken for years. But I use a mesh bag bc I think they keep morels fresher and don’t get caught on thick brush and briars. My count is 305, NKY area we have about a week left, good picking catman!

[@ForgetU]

Well, you know you'll have to get back next year earlier...
