Paul Trybul Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 The morel hunting season is a wrap as I found my last fresh edible ones about a week ago. With all the rain we received this spring, it was an average to above average for morels. Way above average for oyster and chicken of the woods mushrooms. I found way more of those, than I could carry out of the woods. I'm currently drying oven racks full of them. I found my first morel on 4/15 in Lasalle county and my last good one 5/7 in Winnebago County. Two to three weeks is about average for a morel season. It can be extended by traveling south early and a little north later in the season. I only fished once during that mushroom hunting time period. It's a perfect time to take a break and the morels sync up with the bass spawn pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Trybul Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 I would like to add that there was a price to pay for the mild Winter we had. This was also the worse year I've seen for ticks. Tick checks were mandatory after every hunt and I found more than I could count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev-mo Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Despite all the bushwhacking for fishing over the years and just playing in the outdoors as a kid I've never really encountered many ticks. This year is different!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
