It takes some people years to find their first actives, just keep going and you'll end up finding some.
It took me way more than 4 hunts to find my first shrooms, but once you got them, it's so rewarding.
good luck mate

you are in the right area, and from what little i know of your weather lately, you should be set.
get out there as much as you can, and if one field isn't treating you too well after a couple of hunts, start scouting others.
given their size range [that they can get kind-of large/tall large], i recommend scanning for caps showing above the grass, but it can't hurt to also go peeking into some of the grass hummocks that tend to form where the manure has decomposed and enriched the grass. where i live, i tend to see a lot of the smaller dung mushrooms in those.

if there is no indication of mushroom growth of any type on the field after 4 visits, look in other places. 4 times is not alot of times, don't be discouraged. plus, find spots that you don't have to be 'paranoid' about, although caution is always an ally, better to be unseen, undetected, etc. check BoonThaGoon's recent posts, they'll help you stay optimistic

i have to say though, if you are hunting short periods, at night without lights, i'm not supprised you've not foudn them yet, but still, stay at it.

sure, but under the circumstances discribed, it doesn't sound like the idyllic day out hunting i prefer.

Very true, it's a lot different than over here on the west coast. I still think it could be enjoyable, but I will admit that having to trespass every time you go mushroom hunting would be pretty sketchy.

from my experiences in florida, if you don't see something sooner than later, there are definitely better fields. i also feel that it is best to stay away from the cattle altogether if possible, farmers can 'feel' the herds vibe from some distance, and will investigate in an effort to keep you away, be aware and careful.

ya should try during the day. Earlier in the day if it's really hot and sunny out. Later in the day if it's overcast and not so warm. It's rainy around here (I'm in alabama) so like someone said before the weather is PERFECT. I've been finding almost 6 ounces a day in once field. So get out there and dig around in the big tufts of grass.
See how these are hiding under a bush? Ya gotta spot that copperish color through the grass and a lotta times they are so far under the grass ya gotta kinda dig around to find em'.

First , what kind of pasture are you hunting? I'm sure its cows , but how many? How tall is the grass? Are there tree lines that seperate different pastures?
Nighttime with no light & you are most likely stepping on them.
Try scoping out a pasture in the daytime. I don't know if you are relegated to Bicycle only as a means to search. There are web sites with satelite photo's that can help locate new pastures.
I would search larger pastures ( Just because they have moved the cows to another pen is really good news. It means you won't have to deal with them)They usually are the producers. Follow the tree lines , they almost always will have something.
Try going in daytime & being really stealthy. If there are any RR tracks nearby , try walking them , because they usually offer the pastures that are well hidden.
I am always stealthy in my approach. I have walked miles in jungle terrain & swam canals that had gators in them. ( Not always with the best of luck , I nearly lost an eye a little over a week ago.)
Anyways , best of luck & I KNOW we will be seeing your first pic soon!
Peace , Urb.
