  • Come along with me as I hunt for the elusive morel mushroom here in Tennessee. We've had an unusually warm last 2 weeks which has caused the morels to pop up a little bit early this year. So come along with me as I check out my spot and to my surprise find some beauties and get quite excited!

    Sorry to the previous commenters who had commented on this video the first time I uploaded it. I had to re-upload it due to some things I needed to adjust. So I'm sorry I lost those comments but please note I do appreciate them.

    Still waiting for the Morels to start popping here in central Pennsylvania but the weather has been up and down a lot. Crappies are biting pretty good though. 👍👍

      We went out crappie fishing yesterday, caught 8 nice slabs. Hoping to get some more this week!

    Nice haul, so much earlier than us up north. Our peak season coincides with the redbud trees blooming, is it the same in TAG? Hey, thanks for sharing!

    • @tag_caver
      @tag_caver  Рік тому +1

      We usually say when the Dogwoods are blooming, which is typically late March or early February.

    Did the cold hurt them? I think they will be ok heard of people pick morels after a dusting of snow. Like putting them in the fridge. Nice video happy hunting

      I live next to the Cumberland Plateau. We find them in the valleys first. Starting finding them the first week of March, which was warmer this year. Typically find middle to late March. They will come up on the mountains about a month after the valley.
