Re: JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD SEEN IT ALL, by MH
The sang dealers are most hated by the FDA and all the laws were formed because of them. Most of the sang hunters anymore are drug addicts out of work and looking for quick cash, they tresspass everwhere there is a north facing hill and travle far and wide and will steal just about anything not tied down. The dope tyoe hunters take their finds home and stick them in the micro-wave and nuke them dry and get anything they are offered. These people deal in trash ginseng that has ruiened the reputation of american Wild Ginseng! You can get garden grown ginseng for as little as $40 a pound wholesale and it mostly goes to Asia, extracted/powdered and resent back to the states where the unknowing are ripped off again and again.
When a sang hunter finds a patch, he wipes it out and it rarely ever comes back.
I discovered that the wild turky eats the seeds and then poops them out where they roost and you can find huge patches of them this way! The law is watching all the ginseng plants, you can only hunt them x amount of days per year in certain states, the market for wild is just about gone the way of the doe doe. I have not hunted for the past 5 years or more!
