[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3225446, member: 5412"] It does take a trained eye if you have never hunted them before. You just can't glance over an area, at least my areas and expect to find any unless they are pretty big. They blend into the understory they grow in. Buddy and I have a method of walking 10' or so and then stopping to scan, and then moving on another 10' and so on. If finding one, stop and really scan the area around where you found that one. Its rare there is only one unless it's the first one in the patch to come up. We look for areas with mature big trees that are dead or in the process of dying, typically elms. That being said that is what works for us in our area. The guys further west find them around cedar trees. We have never found a single one around cedar trees in our area although we are covered up in cedar trees, so the best thing for you is to find a patch and note what kind of trees/vegetation and direction the sun is around it when you find them, and try to find areas similar. We walked over 4 miles finding what we did and what we found was in very dense brush. Hands and knees dense at times. [/QUOTE]
