Went out this morning to my regular spot and found nothing.  Decided to check a completely new spot I've been scouting while hunting deer this season and boom. Found a new patch.  Still nothing from my main spot. May be resting this year. Also found one single morel. Funny thing about that morel is that i took the photo and didn't realize that the ovoid patch was actually in the background of the photo. LOL.
;Edit;
Hey TexturedSounds, Im hunting all over the James as well. What area are you close to?

---

Those look meaty!! Glad someone found a morel today, because we sure didn't.

I'm actually in MD.  We went down for a couple days but didn't stay tonight and just came back.  The area we checked out was almost an hr west of Richmond.

That's pretty close to me. So I guess i need to explore more around the James. Were you on the James direct or a stream feeding it?

Yeah, check out the area a lil more now that things are starting up.  I can't give out specifics of location (in case we wanna go back this season) but I will at least let you in on this. ... Having collected in MD, PA(east and west),OH, and now VA, natural east coast ovoids can be found along any major river and along tributaries that flow into those rivers.  The key is walking among the Box Elders.

Nice, I'm in Huntington. I think we might have had this same conversation last year now that I think about it.

I haven't hunted NJ ever, this will be my first hunt for actives here.  My last active hunt was Oak Harbor,  WA.  That was back in 2008! Being that i dont want to be jumping fences at farms, looking for lib caps, i will be focusing on Ovoids.I'm surrounded by creeks,  and I live right on the Delaware River.  I should be good to go when it warms up a little more out here.  I will definitely be using that nice tip to search on Google Earth for flat bends in local creeks.  I'm getting crazy impatient to get out there with all of this rain, but it's probably still too cold over night.

I bet hunting in the PNW was a blast, definitely a goal of mine. Yea google earth can definitely be your friend. I'd say you guys are still a little ways off that far north but it's definitely about here. I feel you on getting impatient though, we've been out a couple times, granted we hike a lot, knowing that we wouldn't have any luck.

Thanks,  and yes.  The PNW was amazing!  I used to go backpacking and day hiking CONSTANTLY!  Now I have a wide,  a 2 year old, and a 4 month old.  Not very easy anymore!
