how to hunt and find ginseng 

This was so awesome brother, thank you. When I am in my office, these "trips" to the woods are one of my favorite ways to keep myself grounded. Superb material sir. Bravo.

If I'm on a slope facing down I always like to be facing north, east or northeast and occasionally north west. If I'm at the bottom looking up I'm facing south. That's where I seem to find the most. As we all know sun rises in the east and set in the west so the ginseng doesn't get the blunt of the sun in most cases. Also I'd like to add that small legal 3 prong plants doesn't always have small roots. And in some cases large plants have avg size roots. I've noticed that it mostly depends on the ground they are in. I've found small 3 prongs in poor soil that weren't as big around as a dime but had a three inch neck. I check all legal plants to be sure of size and if they aren't old enough I cover back up. I like to find large plants also it excites me and gives me the push of adrenaline to keep huntimg. But large plants doesn't mean large roots and small doesn't mean small. Ginseng is a peculiar plant! You have alot of great tips but if you check I think you'll find you're missing out on alot of good ginseng. This is just my experience, everone has their own way and has something different they could share or learn, in no way am I degrading your video. HAVE A BLESSED DAY,

Good informative video. And you treated the future ginseng with respect,

just wanna thank you for being conservative in your harvesting!

Thank you. That was a lot of extra work to make the video. Bless you.

KEVIN, GREAT JOB I'M REAL INTERESTED IN LEARNING. JUST TO BE IN THE WOOD'S AND EXERCISE. THANK'S FOR THE LESSONS PAUL MOORE

Deer do eat the tops .grouse and other birds eat the seed. If turkey find acorns in the woods they will scratch around and knock all the tops off.most of it will be yellow so they actually save a lot of it from being dug.

thank you thank you I'm from the north east and we have very little Jensen here thank you

No respect for trespassers or poachers. If its not your property KEEP OUT. You're breaking the law.

Great Video! Thank you so much for making it! I learned a lot! It was very helpful.

Thank you for the video it really helped me alot I appreciate it.

Very good video! Actually my favorite one I've watched so far and I've seen almost all of them. I hope you make another one this fall! Thanks again!

Nice video. Thanks for respecting people's property and the preservation of the wild plants. Just curious how much is that plate of ginseng worth. I saw ur mushroom video and they looked yummy. I love mushrooms but I'm to afraid to hunt for them. Your knowledge in wild edibles is a wonderful talent.

Tony and I enjoyed your video. The ginseng is beautiful and we learned a lot.

Our route took us closer to Connellsville and Dunbar then into WVa. Keep up the fun videos. Thank you for bringing back good memories.

I liked it, good video, brother...

Thank you so much 🥰

Good info

This is my first time ever sang hunting and I could use some help

I have been a digger for 30 years and the deers eat the leaves off the prongs but never the berries or the stems.

Oh dang! I have a bunch in my back yard!

I got a cricket in my house too they say it brings good luck.

I. Agree with you on. Not. Getting. Rich. I. Have. Had. People. To. Tell me. They. Dig. A. Pound. To. 3. Pounds of saving. Every time. They. Go. Out. I. Know. Better.

You are exactly rite.those shows are exaggerated. Way exaggerated..you will never get rich gensenging.

Great Video Kev,keep them coming,I'll spend about 3 days a fall up here in NY looking for ginseng and get about 1 plateful,your right,you won't get rich but you'll have fun,Most days I get more oyster mushrooms than ginseng.Buschy

Man that was a good video brother. Great job!!! I hope and pray I'm gonna have a good day of digging tomorrow like what you just did. LORD willing I will. Yall stay safe. Thanks again Kev. BTW what is the link to buy one of those diggers that you sell? I'd like to have me one.

Kevin, can you explain what the "hook" is for on the tool you make? Is it just for hanging off of a belt or something? Also, when you plant the berries are you planting the pod and all, or are you breaking them open and planting the two seeds into the ground.

I quess the deer where I live are different than the deer in you area . Because you will ( NOT!!) find ANY ginseng around a deer path here because whitetail deer absolutely love ginseng.

Ginseng videos are always true and never have been clickbait.

Hi Kevin. I am thrilled to see how to find ginseng in the wild. Over 60 years ago, when I was young my dad bought ginseng, snake root, golden seal and may Apple roots. Other than seeing them at home in south western PA, I never saw them in the wild. Are you in the Allegheny mountains and if so what state? I now live in OK and I am not aware of any root digging here.

When should I hunt for ginseng in Eastern Ky? Does it grow in Northern Ohio normally? Thanks!

Oh damn you hunt morel mushrooms too? We do too that's cool. I like the white and yellow morels the most. We find a ton of those things every year (well every season.

When is it too late to find ? Central western WV

Is it true that you want your back to the north?

Good time of day to get snake bit

Make sure you whisper in these woods cause you dont want to scare off the ginseng. Lookee there I thought I seen soom berries, I did, I did see some berries.

Where do you find seeds to plant? I get so frustrated with people poaching the mushrooms and the ginseng on our property. I wasn’t able to find any ginseng at all last year due to all the people stealing it. We had some very old plants here when we bought our place.

how much do you sell that tool for. It is just like a welders chipping hammer , except for the hook on the side.

now that you have the roots what do u do with them?

thanks for sharing

are u finding them mostly north north east facing?

People by the black cohosh and yellow root also. Ask your ginseng buyer if they buy black cohosh or yellow root.

Rookie at this so best to walk up hill to look ? Look for ferns ?

Do you still hunting for wild ginseng? I am looking for one.

Do you know if Ginseng grows in West Tennessee? Also curious, how do you get folks to let you hunt it on their property?

Do you have a video that shows how far down they actually are? One where you show how to dig them? What's Bear scat?? Edit:You DID show us later in the video. Ty.

Ken, thanks for sharing. Any chance of finding in Upstate NY?

Hello Kevin, new subscriber here I heard you say your movie about sing. Do you mind if you could spell it out for me I really appreciate it and would joy watching a movie. Thanks Joe for North Carolina
