I hunted 3 or 4 hours a day for 2 days and ended up with a couple pounds. The ash,elm and popular tress had rings walked around them before I even got there. Hopefully this rain will bring them up. If not it's gonna be a bad year for shrooms.   :sad:

He found all the poision Ivy....Ol eagle eye can't look at the stuff with out getting it. The shrums are all but gone here. They are getting harder to find each trip and we will probably start fishing real hard now that they are. The bass have came off the beds and the groundhogsa are learning to run when they see my truck. So me and lil man will start making the trout & catfish worry now. LOL
Right now we have a date with some friends on the pool table. Eagle eye is a pool shark as well. :rolleye: And rook champ. :rolleye: and horseshoe pro. :roflmao: :roflmao:

awh,

Have Lil-Man start picking some horses in races.  With his luck your $5 ticket will be a BIG winner.   :laf:  Maybe that isn't such a bad idea.  Just have him pick them and let me know.

You'll think I'm pulling your leg but I swear everytime he ask me to buy him a lottery ticket, the scratch ones, he wins. That's not a bad idea Jerry. Only thing is we don't have any tracks around here. Except for the dirt track for the race cars. And if I know Cam me taking him there will only lead to me having to buy a race car and don't see that happining. LOL

A race car 4 sale, here.....Hmmmmm.....No I can't. His mom & my mom already want to string me up for the motorcycle and go-cart.  But I keep telling them he's a boy and boys got to have their toys. My mom still says he can't ride the dirt bike unless I'm home as she is tired of him scaring her to death. :shrug:

I haven't let him play it yet. But tonight I'll run him to the store and get some numbers off of him and let you know how he did. If he wins it may be a few days as he has always told me when he gets old enough and has some money he was going to buy me a new truck and boat. I'm going to hold him to that one....LOL

I haven't had a chance to get out yet but I'm told they are up. I don't know how anyone couldn't like them.

Like Jim said Ain't nothing better than butter fried shrooms on a T-bone or better yet a venision tenderloin!

Post by: FinsnFur on May 11, 2007, 11:30:14 AM
Well none of the above. But my experience with freezing them is they turn to mush. Kinda like eating wet bread.

I store them in an unsealed plastic bag in the bottom of the fridge and when they are gone they are gone. Freezing them just never worked out real good.

Post by: horndog on May 11, 2007, 03:49:41 PM
They are good on Elk steak also,we dehydrate them for winter,good in spaghetti :yoyo:
Title: Re: Any Morels yet?
Post by: iahntr on May 11, 2007, 05:51:08 PM
Sorry, pretty dry humor there. Actually it doesn't work too bad if you lay them out on like a cookie sheet and freeze them, so they are frozen individually, once they're frozen you can put em all in a big freezer bag, That way you can take out as many as you want, and it's not a big lump froze all together. The big thing is take them from freezer and put directly into pan, without letting them thaw. Not as good as fresh but it works ok.
