I just wanted to give a heads up to fellow foragers out there. Next week turkey hunting season starts. If you plan to be out in the woods, DO NOT wear any red, white, or blue! Its also advisable to wear a blaze orange hat or something along that line.
Some folks are responsible hunters, and will only shoot when they are certain of their target and whats beyond it. Im not willing to rely on anyone to be a responsible hunter.

I also recommend that you should try to go out during the middle of the day and avoid the mornings and afternoons as that is when most hunters tend to be out.

The great thing about turkey hunting is it gives me a reason to be out in the woods during this time lloking for mushrooms- and gets me on lands that I would not be in otherwise. Turkey hunting is an all day thing, but most of the action is early in the A.M.
In my book, anyone that would mistake a person for a legal turkey at that close range (within 50 yards, possessing a beard and standing still long enough to carefully aim at the head) is NOT a hunter, just a total moron.

And the sad part is...there are plenty of morons out there. With the season being a solid block this year, it's call to be extra careful, and wear orange.

I agree...be careful! That being said, wild turkey with morels, ramps, and asparagus is as wonderful to me as blue grouse with aspen scabber stalks or king boletes depending on what altitude I am at  Enjoy all that the Earth provides! T |

interesting for sure! I ate scabberstalks the first time after going on a foray with the wild mushroom society of utah. I ate them every year since and have not had any reactions but never ate large quantities. I prefer king boletes but the scabbers would be around 7k while the kings above 8.8k so the scabbers would be out earlier. I missed the conversation last year since I am new to the forum and WI for that matter. Thank you for the info and best to follow the advice of professionals.
